[Bug 966237] Re: Scrolling directing is hard-coded/reversed from xinput

 

@Timo
Yeah, I believe it's gnome, more so.

It's part of a long time attitude on the part of gnome developers,
constantly breaking their own software, be it simple themes, standard
desktop norms, or as we have here ... mouse configurability, all against
user wishes.

Apparently it's fixed as reported on
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682457. I'll look into it and
try to report back. It took them 3 years to find a fix, and it's
tentative at this point. Gees, gnome!

Title:
  Scrolling directing is hard-coded/reversed from xinput

Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  Fix Released
Status in Natural Scrolling for Linux:
  Confirmed
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  My computer is set to use natural scrolling like my phone and tablet. I use .Xmodmap and I can
      ! Note that 4 5 and 6 7 are reversed to behave like a table.
      xinput set-button-map 11 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12

  A combination of upgrades to unity, compiz, and xorg over the last few
  days has caused some apps (gedit and gwibber) to scroll the opposite
  direct of chromium and thunderbird. This is maddening. I can see that
  the apps that scroll the wrong way have very smooth scrolling
  indicative of unity and MT.
