The old way of mouse wheel scrolling was mice would emit discrete button 4 and 5 events, and scrolling was jumpy.
The new way of mouse wheel scrolling is via XInput2, you get two additional axes (vertical and horizontal scroll events) that give you more fine-grained positions. This way you can get smooth scrolling with a touchpad. When you remap mouse buttons, this can only affect older applications that do not support smooth mouse wheel scrolling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637688 Title: Terminal and file manager scrolls inverted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1637688/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
