Description Oliver Williamson 2020-05-21 10:32:06 UTC 
SUMMARY

On Wayland, natural scrolling is active in some applications and windows, such as System Settings or Firefox, but in other windows such as the built in KDE store, or the "Add widgets" window, natural scrolling is not active with the touchpad.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Verify natural scrolling is enabled
2. Go to "Add widgets" window, or the "Desktop configuration window" and scroll.

OBSERVED RESULT

Natural scrolling (inverse) action does not happen, only regular scrolling.

EXPECTED RESULT

Natural scrolling is active and acts accordingly.
