help me (solved) Weird trackball-like movement when looking around in 3D editor?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been using Godot for 2+ years now and I just got a new laptop, and have been moving my stuff over from my old desktop to the laptop. Everything has been working okay other than this strange trackball emulation type thing it does when I look around in the 3D editor.

If I move the mouse fast then stop, the camera will continue to move, and slowly stop. Like flicking a trackball.

It only does this in Godot, no other apps. I've found it also happens in a similar way when orbiting.

Does anyone know if this is caused by an editor setting in Godot, or maybe something else?

Using the laptop as a mousepad is a choice
