Version: 1.0 (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux The default value for the "Mouse wheel scrolls by" setting is: 3 lines. If you change it to another value (10 lines in my case), the scroll wheel keeps scrolling by 3 lines. Even after you've restarted your whole computer, it keeps scrolling by 3 lines. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: System Settings Input devices Mouse Advanced Set Mouse wheel scrolls by on 10 lines. Apply Open an application where you need to scroll. Scroll with your mouse wheel. ...and see that it only scrolls with 3 lines at a time instead of 10 lines. Actual Results: Scrolls by 3 lines Expected Results: Scrolls by the number of lines I've configured (10 lines in my case) OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-12-generic Compiler: gcc Kubuntu 11.10
kubuntu 12.04 the same problem kde 4.8.1 Bus 003 Device 003: ID 03f0:8107 Hewlett-Packard
On Archlinux i have the same problem. KDE is 4.8.2. I hope it will be fixed soon.

It seems that option is not used at all by most KDE applications http://lxr.kde.org/search?filestring=&string=WheelScrollLines
I can confirm this problem on Kubuntu 12.04, too, but I remember than this setting worked in the past.
I have ArchLinux, KDE 4.8.3. I can say that this function works for me but only for KDE applications but i haven't tested for all KDE applications. GTK applications doesn't recognize the configuration.
I confirm that this problem still exists in KDE 4.10 (installed from OpenSUSE 12.2 "official" rpms). I became (painfully) aware of this because the behavior of kmix with respect with mouse wheel scrolling changed and the volume changes are stuttery. I tested on 3 different machines (same KDE 4.10 version and same operating system) with microsoft mouse or with lenovo trackpoint keyboard (with wheel scrolling emulation). I try to change the speed to 1 line and it just stays to 3 whatever I try.
Still not resolved. I am using imwheel package as a replacement, but that screws mouse wheel + additional key shortcuts in other applications (Chrome, Firefox zooming, etc.).

With 5 it has got even worse, now applications like Konsole and Kate ignore wheelScrollLines and always use 3. I assume this is a completely dead setting now with the new 5 world?
Yep, KGlobalSettings is gone. Check if you have qtconfig-qt5 installed. There you can change the setting for "Wheel Scroll Lines", but I am not sure if the applications you are using respect this setting. If they do not, report a bug for each application.

Just for the record, this option only works with Qt apps.
