"When Apple releases Mac OSX Lion, one of the changes is the switching of the trackpad/mouse scrolling direction. Instead of scrolling the mouse wheel down to move down the page, you have to scroll up to move down. Apple imported this feature from iOS and call[s] this feature “natural scrolling”. Not everyone love[s] this feature, but if you are one of those ... to implement this feature in Ubuntu, here’s how you do it:" http://maketecheasier.com/reverse-mouse-scrolling-direction-in-ubuntu/2011/09/16
It's also called reverse scrolling and Apple did not invent it. They just realized it was a natural progression and a way to consolidate with the touch screen (which is where this stems from). It's not arcane or weird. I can just imagine that touchscreen users could be affected by this as well, and since that's the new market everyone (including Canonical) is vying for, it's noteworthy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951123 Title: nautilus not natural scrolling Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I came to the conclusion after updates of ubuntu 12.04 on march the 9th, nautilus did not handle natural scrolling anymore, while in Chrome or Firefox or even any other application it still does.
