SUMMARY
"Invert (natural scrolling)" should be default Touchpad setting

OBSERVED RESULT
Touchpad setting is non-natural, 2 finger swipe up shows "upward" content and swipe down shows "downward" content.

EXPECTED RESULT
Touchpad setting should be natural as the menu itself says: "Invert (natural scrolling). 2 finger swipe up should show "downward" content  (i.e.page is moved upward) and swipe down should show "upward" content (i.e.page is moved downward). This is the default behavior on other OSes.

This should be a common user tendency to scroll content and similar (setting/tuning) is asked here:
