Cinnamon: scrolling direction can't be reversed #102

Closed Pjotr123 closed 4 years ago

Pjotr123 commented 4 years ago

Cinnamon: when you enable "Reverse scrolling direction" in Mouse and Touchpad, nothing happens. The original scrolling direction remains the same.

I can't reproduce this yet. After I toggle that option, using my mousewheel scrolls text in Xed in the reverse direction.

How are you scrolling and in which program?

NikoKrause commented 4 years ago

I can't reproduce it either. But at first I thought it was broken too. Be aware, that there are two "Reverse scrolling direction" switches. One switch is in the mouse settings and one switch is in the touchpad settings.

Pjotr123 commented 4 years ago

@NikoKrause: that's indeed the cause of the problem: separate scrolling direction switches for mouse and touchpad. Now it works as intended. Thanks!

I'll open a separate issue for the illogical and non-intuitive existence of two separately functioning switches: they should be linked, so that there can't be difference.

NikoKrause commented 4 years ago

I don't think, that it's illogical, though. I think the opposite is the case: It is really logical.

You maybe like to have a different scrolling behaviour for your mouse than for your touchpad. Also if you scroll with your touchpad, you look in the touchpad settings, not the mouse settings.
