Dear Plasma developers,

Since you were intrested in shipping plasma with ‘single click to open’ by default, and you recently reversed this setting because of the distros, I thought you are into making users’ workflows better!

### Proposal: Reverse touchpad scrolling by default
Because it is more intuitive to have the page go up while your fingers go up!
And because it is standard on Windows; so it is the industry standard.
**Note** that I specificly ask for the **touchpad** scrolling to be reversed, because the normal mouse scroll direction is not reversed on Windows by default (could also be beter, but I suspect, distros are going to reverse this change)

With kind regards,

Feike Donia

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.0.3 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.2 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 6.0.3, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
