Update to plasma 5.18.4? (at least that when the problem started happening) 2. Click on desktop 3. Use scroll wheel EXPECTED RESULTS Should switch between virtual desktops or do whatever "right click > configure desktop > mouse actions > vertical scroll" is set to do. ACTUAL RESULTS Nothing happens. OTHER NOTES Change virtual desktop with any other mouse button works. Scrolling in other applications still works. Scrolling with mouse over virtual desktop icon on taskbar works. "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin nextDesktop" command works as expected. (Should I be posting this report under kwin?) ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc has been reset to no effect. Bug 413104 seems similar but no solution has been provided in that thread. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS OS: Manjaro KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 1921654 1 bugseforuns 2020-04-11 22:56:37 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 419867 *** 1921665 2 shitm8e 2020-04-12 02:59:00 +0000 I created a temporary workaround with xbindkeys and xdotool. In ~/.xbindkeysrc I added the lines: "bash /home/username/scroll_down.sh" b:5 "bash /home/username/scroll_up.sh" b:4 The contents of the shell files are: #!/bin/bash eval $(xdotool getmouselocation --shell) echo $WINDOW name=$(xdotool getwindowname $WINDOW) base="Desktop — Plasma" if [ "$name" = "$base" ]; then echo succ qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin nextDesktop fi With "nextDesktop" in the scroll_down/sh file and "previousDesktop" in the scroll_up.sh file. The "qdbus" command could also be replaces with "xdotool set_desktop" This assumes that you have two desktops stacked vertically. Also there is no wrap around scrolling. 1921666 3 shitm8e 2020-04-12 03:13:56 +0000 forgot to remove unnecessary "echo $WINDOW" and "echo succ" 2019076 4 nate 2021-03-24 21:38:06 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 419878 ***
