Description Oliver Henshaw 2010-02-27 17:27:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

The "mouse wheel right" action decreases the volume of a kmix slider (whether in the panel applet or the mixer window). This is counter-intuitive, especially with horizontal sliders - where the slider moves to the right as volume increases.

Expected behavior: Mouse wheel right increases volume, mouse wheel left decreases it.

Probably I cannot fix it at the moment. Qt doesn't seem to indicate the actual wheel in the QWheelEvent: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qwheelevent.html

I've experimented a little with PyQt and it looks like QWheelEvent::orientation() does what you need.

Does the slider act differently in RTL environments? If so I'd guess you have to check that too.

I guess you are right. I have overlooked the QWheelEvent::orientation(). I'll submit a patch in a minute.

I cannot test it myself due to lack of hardware (horizontal mouse wheel). But it really should work out of the box, so I have directly closed this bug. If I am wrong please reopen teh bug or feel free to contact my via personal email.
