Public bug reported: Summary:
When horizontal scrolling is enabled (xfce4-mouse-settings: Menu | Settings | Mouse and Touchpad) it does not honour the sensitivity/acceleration settings. Related issues: "Enable horizontal scrolling" doesn't work with "Reverse scroll direction" - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1409347 Aside: In addition (and this may warrant a separate ticket), the options in the UI are somewhat confusing: 1) The "Sensitivity" option has a tooltip which reads as if the option should actually be named "Threshold" as it defines when the acceleration option comes into effect. To exacerbate the issue, lowering the slider (further left) decreases the threshold and actually increases the "sensitivity". 2) There is no actual sensitivity option - i.e. there is no way to change the underlying mapping between distance moved on the touchpad and distance moved on the screen; this makes it very awkward to use a laptop with a small touchpad without having an "edgy" feel to the mouse (i.e. relying on acceleration to when sensitivity isn't appropriate).
