Created attachment 159747 [details] Example of grid pager SUMMARY Scrolling horizontally and vertically on a grid pager work unintuitively. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure 4 workspaces in 2 rows 2. Add a pager widget to your panel 3. Scroll vertically on your pager. Observe as the pager goes left first, instead of down. 4. Edit your pager settings, and deselect "Navigation wraps around". 5. Scroll horizontally on your pager. This will work correctly on the first change (from 1 to 2), but then wrap around to 3. OBSERVED RESULT The anti-wrapping option is not fully honored when using a grid of virtual desktops. EXPECTED RESULT 1. Vertical scrolling should only scroll the pager vertically. 2. Horizontal scrolling should only scroll the pager horizontally. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: N/A macOS: N/A Linux: 6.3.7 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Since not everyone has access to horizontal scrolling, I'd suggest adding an additional toggle. This additional toggle will make vertical and horizontal scrolling behave strictly. That way, people with only vertical scrolling can still use the current behaviour.
