Description 2wtangerine 2014-12-26 11:32:30 UTC

My mouse (Micro**** Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000) scrolls too many lines at once. Changing the "Mouse wheel scrolls by:" value in System Settings has no effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mouse Controls in System Settings
2. Adjust "Mouse wheel scrolls by:" value. 
3. Hit "Apply".

Actual Results:  
Nothing changed - same number of lines are scrolled as before.

Expected Results:  
Number of lines scrolled should be adjusted by the aforementioned value.

Nothing special. Default 64-bit Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5 install.

Hello, I'm a Google code-in student who is trying to do bug-triaging task.
Is this relevant to bug 291144?

Seems  similar by description. Some users there reported the setting working with KDE apps, however here it does not work for any apps, including KDE.

Update: I found a workaround with xinput.
xinput set-prop <device id> <property number> 3 3 3
then store it permanently in ~/.profile
