@68: What just started happening? Doesn't that sound like a driver
issue? This bug is mostly about normally behaving scroll wheels, but
people including me would just like if the "lines per scrolled distance"
would be adjustable (I think most people find it be too small/slow by
default... but I guess in some cases it's the opposite).

This is mainly a Gnome issue, but nothing stops Ubuntu from fixing this.
Apparently it has been just accepted as a norm everywhere except in KDE
(?) that default scroll speed is what it is or alternatively not a
single developer has ever used a mouse produced after the invention of
the scroll wheel.

Bug description:
  This has been driving me nuts for a while now. The scroll wheel on my
  desktop mouse (it's an MS wireless optical mouse model 1008) scrolls
  rather fast. Instead of moving a few lines, it scrolls half a page or
  more with a very gentle scroll. The bluetooth mouse I use with my
  laptop does not do this so it's probably somewhat hardware specific.
  However, I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the speed or
  sensitivity. I found an answer here from about a year ago
  (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1339) that suggests
  there isn't a way but I'm wondering if anything has changed since
  then. I've also skimmed through synaptic but didn't see anything
  promising (like gsynaptic for touchpads).

  Thanks.
