Description Ingomar Wesp 2010-02-28 14:27:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When rotating the mouse wheel down (towards the user) while hovering over the task bar, windows are switched in right-to-left order. This is inconsistent not only with the order that I would expect (left-to-right), but also with the behavior of tab bars, where the next tab to the right is activated when the wheel is moved down. 

I would suggest to change the behavior so that scrolling down causes a switch to the next task to the right and scrolling up causes a switch to next task to the left of the current task (at least on LTR configurations). Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that this was the way it was in earlier releases.

I'm reporting this as a bug, although the behavior might be intentional; in this case, please feel free to change the severity to "wishlist".
