Scrolling within canvas is too sensitive

When I’m zoomed in on an image and try using two-finger scrolling to move around it, the scrolling is way too sensitive and basically useless. I realize there’s a workaround where you can hold spacebar and move around with one finger to achieve the same effect, but this feels clunky to me. Running macOS 14.7.1 on an M1.

Is this issue specific to gimp or all apps in macOS?

It’s just with Gimp. Everywhere else scrolling is smooth and natural. In Gimp it’s like trying to water flowers with a power washer.
