SUMMARY Switching virtual desktops using Ctrl+Alt+MouseWheel seems inverted in the direction of just using the mouse wheel on the desktop. In my case, doing Ctrl+Alt+MouseWheel Up switches a virtual desktop down, and Ctrl+Alt+MouseWheel Down, switches a virtual desktop up. ( I have virtual desktops in a vertical layout ) The opposite happens when just using the mouse wheel and scrolling when the desktop is focused. Using the mouse setting on the mouse kcm, of inverted scrolling, the opposite from above happens, and the behaviour of the two ways of switching virtual desktop are still different. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add some virtual desktops 2. Switch between them using Ctrl+Alt+MouseWheel 3. OBSERVED RESULT The Virtual Desktops switch in an inverted manner, like if it was a gesture movement, not a mouse wheel on a desktop. EXPECTED RESULT The Virtual Desktops to switch down when the mouse wheel is scrolled down, and up when scrolled up on the mouse wheel. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Using git version of plasma, and using kwin wayland.
