    This is a bit of an usual one, and may be an issue with Steam rather than SE though to my knowledge, it doesn't happen in any other game. When I'm playing SE using Steam's "Stream" feature, scrolling breaks completely. To be specific, if I scroll up, SE acts as if I'm keeping on scrolling up until I scroll down, whereupon it acts as if I'm keeping on scrolling down. This makes a lot of things very tedious (particularly in the UI and 3rd person view).
    The only workaround I have found is to rapidly alternate between scrolling up and down. This eventually breaks the "lock" and allows me to control the scrollbars with my mouse (dragging them) as one would expect.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Start Space Engineers using Steam's "Stream from another PC" feature.
    2. Load or create a new game.
    3. Enter any scrollable interface (ie, the control panel) or enter 3rd person mode.
    4. Scroll up (or down) once.
    The bug will now be obvious. Hovering the mouse over any scrollable interface immediately causes it to scroll to the bottom (or top) as if the scroll wheel were being scrolled constantly. Any attempts to drag the scroll bar will work until the mouse is once again hovered over the scrollable interface.
    Additional notes:

    This does not happen if I play the game locally (using my laptop), only if I stream the game from my PC to my laptop. I have reproduced this bug using both my Synaptics Touchpad (on a Lenovo z570 to be specific) and an AutoHotkey script that enables mouse control via the numpad (specifically this one).

    I've found pretty dirty solution with AutoHotkey. Don't ask me how, but it works (at least for me :))

    Code:
    #NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
    ; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
    SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
    SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
