Hi Bart,
cursor navigation and support for the magic mouse or magic trackpad are not well implemented in Pharo, sadly. It’s a known issue for a long time (sadly) and I at least am not aware of any solution. I would very much appreciate one, but it is a case of not enough manpower and the community having other priorities.
