By default (unless I'm missing something), when opening Wireshark and beginning
a capture it is not possible to scroll horizontally in the Packet List to see
all information.
This is only possible after doing a "Resize Columns".
Perhaps this behaviour is a bug in itself - I'm not sure.

However, when having performed a "Resize Columns" the horizontal scroll bar
appear and it's now possible to scroll horizontally using the Trackpad on a
Mac.

I'm trying to view information that exists in columns between the far left and
far right edge of the screen - i.e. the horizontal scroll bar is somewhere in
the middle. While viewing this information I wish to scroll *vertically* -
again using the Trackpad (two fingers), but this is almost impossible to do
because the sensitivity of the scrollbar is very high.
This results in the Packet List window jumping all over the screen and it's
close to impossible to read anything meaningful.
It works as expected if I drag on the vertical scrollbar, but not when I scroll
vertically somewhere away from the scrollbar.
