SUMMARY

Touchpad scroll direction lost after restart, and don't work when edited. Similar tp #452915 and #411114, but it happens without suspending and with the touchpad.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

It happens only sometimes, not always failing.

1. In my touchpad settings I have selected "Two fingers" and "Invert scroll direction (Natural scrolling)".
2.  I switch off the system, and start it again
3. I open any app, like the browser, the system settings
4. I scroll with two fingers
5. The scroll works in the opposite version as set up (like if "Invert scroll direction" as unchecked)
6. I go to System settings > Touchpad, and the "Invert scroll direction" option is still checked
7. I uncheck it, apply, check it again, apply, but seems like changes to that setting are ignored
8. I reboot again, and in some cases the scrolling will work as expected, and in many it will be ignored

OBSERVED RESULT

Touchpad's "Invert scroll direction" is not followed

EXPECTED RESULT

The setting should be respected

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Seems like the natural scrolling check is swapping at every reboot of the system. So, when it's correctly applied and I restart, it stops being applied, and when I restart another time it becomes applied again. No idea what's causing this, but it's super annoying, and it makes me restart twice every time I switch on the computer, or I need to restart.

This was fixed a while ago. Sorry for missing it until now.
