The Problem

The zoom speed of the VictoryZoomContainer is very slow on firefox.

Reproduction

Navigate to the brush-and-zoom gallery on Chrome, Edge, IE11, Firefox: https://formidable.com/open-source/victory/gallery/brush-and-zoom

Notice how the zoom speed is extremely slow on Firefox. Other browsers work fine.

Seems like there is also an issue with the wheel event.
See my other issue here: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/issues/5723

Noice how the zoom speed in firefox is also slow in the demo: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/wheel_event

Hi @e-dong! What version of Firefox are you using? The demo works fine on my mac running 73.0.1.

[e-dong]

Thank you for the reply @narinluangrath !

I am using version: 68.5.0esr (32 bit) using windows 10. Due to my work environment, I am unable to update to the lastest Firefox.

UPDATE: On my personal computer, I have Firefox 74.0 on windows 10. I still observe the slow zoom speed.

I am also noticing slow zoom speed in Firefox 77.0.1 on Windows 10.

Same holds for me on Arch Linux with Firefox 78.0.1

Still having this issue in August, any fixes?

@narinluangrath Likewise, very slow zoom speed on Firefox 81. Chart barely moves when zooming

Here I outputted domain.x on a normal zoom in Chrome, where each newline is one zoom in of scroll wheel

Still an issue on Firefox 85, this time on Windows 10

[addybongo]

Did anyone find a fix for this?

[becca-bailey]

This is related to #655

[Venefilyn]

@becca-bailey slow in this case is the zoom amount, not performance. So they're two different issues

[becca-bailey]

Sorry, I think I missed that part of the discussion. I will keep this one open for now!

[e-dong]

@narinluangrath Any updates?

This does not appear to be an issue in the latest version of Firefox. If anyone notices a similar problem, please open a new issue with a specific example and we can investigate further.
