Description Andrew Crouthamel 2018-02-06 21:13:41 UTC 
It looks like bug 339201 is back.

When selecting inverted "natural" touchpad scrolling (drag up to scroll down), Kickoff only works in "standard" scrolling mode (drag down to scroll down).

Confirmed on neon dev unstable, under X11 + libinput.
No problem under Wayland.

What areas does this affect?
* Everything Plasma styled (Kickoff, the add widgets strip, etc)
* System settings sidebar
* Widgets applications (Dolphin, Kate)

This is only about touchpad scrolling, right, not mouse wheel?

Right, it was only touchpad. Interestingly, I switched to Kubuntu 17.10 with backports PPA and it works fine now.

I see the Qt version is slightly behind Neon. Maybe that is the cause?
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2018-06-19 21:21:34 UTC 
Is this still reproducible for you with any more recent versions of anything?
Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2018-06-21 01:40:54 UTC 
At least on my neon dev unstabble the problem seems fixed. Reverse scrolling in kickoff works correctly under both X11 and Wayland sessions.
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2018-06-21 13:04:31 UTC 
Fixed for me too on both Neon Dev Unstable (Qt 5.10) and Kubuntu 18.04 (Qt 5.9.5). Let's call it fixed.

Andrew, feel free to re-open tis if you can still reproduce the issue with a recent version anywhere.
