The Reverse scroll direction does nothing Environment: Ubuntu 16.10 X A get-around is provided here (use xinput, flip values 4 and 5) http://askubuntu.com/questions/411034/kubuntu-natural-scrolling-touchpad-only-but-not-for-mouse/416542#416542 Some more straneg comments are here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-kde-reverse-natural-scrolling-not-working/5778/3 If this is not supported on the platform, some helpful note should be provided as to how to attain natural scrolling from the mouse wheel Natural scrolling does not work anyway in Konsole Similar to bug 368309
The Konsole problem has a bug filed bug 355755
Same issue in Antergos as well.
same bug raised on opensuse, with details https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1018967
Scroll direction setting fails in all programs. It was working in Kubuntu 16.10 but since installing the 17.04 daily it no longer works. I rely on this for fixing the broken zoom direction that's occurring on more recent 3D programs. When I ask them to provide a fix in their software they just say it's the normal way (which I know is not true) and close the issue.
I looked into this a little bit. This only seams to happen with libinput and not with evdev. I tried this: https://gist.github.com/Zarokka/10ac4cecd5ebc5ce815136a2853850d4 This did not fix the issue however. But maybe it is related to the setting having the name "ReverseScrollPolarity" and that it is called "NaturalScroll" in libinput.
I too followed the description in https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-kde-reverse-natural-scrolling-not-working/5778/3 and edited /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and added the Option "NaturalScrolling" "true" entry in the first section: Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev pointer catchall" MatchIsPointer "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "NaturalScrolling" "true" EndSection and the third section: Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "NaturalScrolling" "true" EndSection All worked correctly after a reboot
Thankyou Andrew, That at least is a useable workaround. On a possibly related note, I've noticed the mouse speed/acceleration setting also is not adjustable.
PS: I pasted that verbatim into the closest matching file - 10-quirks.conf - rather than 10-evdev.conf.
I believe this might be easy to fix as long as everyone is setting "Reverse scroll direction" in Mouse Controls System Settings locate kcminputrc | xargs grep ReverseScrollPolarity A lot of the comments are using other methods to handle this

*** Bug 378875 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Bug still present in Kubuntu 17.10 daily.
Bug still present in 17.10 release. No workaround available to non IT users and family.
Plasma: 5.8.6 Framework: 5.28.0 Qt: 5.7.1 Bug still present. Checkbox in System Settings->Hardware->Input Devices->Mouse has no effect: checked or unchecked, no difference.
Is anyone able to reproduce this? I believe it may have since been fixed.
It's good for me
Thanks!
