How to Disable resize window on mouse over edge

mouse mac window-manager windows scrolling

I have my window in full screen and I want to scroll. In Windows, I would just move the mouse all the way to the right side of the screen where the scroll bar is. Then I would click down and scroll. But for Mac, instead of being able to scroll, it shows the drag/resize window cursor and if I press down and move it, it resizes the window.

Is there any way to make it so that I can just scroll the window instead of resizing it?

I'm using BetterTouchTool if there is no built in function and it would help with anything.


Don't click, just scroll.

Mac will scroll any window the cursor is over, whether it's foregrounded or not. You don't even need the cursor to be over the scroll-bar, just anywhere in that window.

The only exception to this is if your cursor is inside any specifically scrollable area within the window, such as the following example - this will override the main window scroll & scroll that specific area instead.
