The direction of vertical scroll is configurable in the Trackpad System Preferences. By default, the "Scroll direction: natural" option is selected, so the scrolling is in the direction you move your fingers. That's the opposite of what some users (like me) expect, which is for the scrolling to go the other way.

Anyways, try changing that system preference and see if Kicad's behavior changes.
