@G9283 (b8732) Yes, that's how bug reports work, when no one is interested in them, they are left to rot, in a non-public company bugs are fixed based on how heavily they impact to users and what those users are trying to do with it, if they don't impact the program heavily enough, they don't get fixed, which is basically the same thing here, except we have the freedom to contribute a fix to a bug that affects us.
@seb128 "could people stop arguing about bug settings, adding a new option is defined as "wishlist" it doesn't mean it will not be worked on or that it's a low priority" Actually that is the definition of wishlist: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wish%20list "a list of desired but often realistically unobtainable items" So what is the point of a bug being on a wishlist? It's saying 'this bug is desired to be fixed, but unlikely to be', it is low priority and bugs that take 6 years to even be looked at generally are low priority, so I'm not arguing, I'm stating a fact. @Paul Somebody "in this OS mistakes and shortcomings are always rectified quickly" This isn't something that should be advocated, issues can be rectified quickly but I wouldn't say 'always', in fact if we go back to before Ubuntu was based on Unity and was based on Gnome, issues were almost never rectified quickly. Anyway lets all hold hands and pray to zeus the 100 paper cuts team can fix this issue. Good luck team :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse scrolling speed Status in GNOME Control Center: Unknown Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Fix Released Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in Unity: Invalid Status in Unity 2D: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This has been driving me nuts for a while now. The scroll wheel on my desktop mouse (it's an MS wireless optical mouse model 1008) scrolls rather fast. Instead of moving a few lines, it scrolls half a page or more with a very gentle scroll. The bluetooth mouse I use with my laptop does not do this so it's probably somewhat hardware specific. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the speed or sensitivity. I found an answer here from about a year ago (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1339) that suggests there isn't a way but I'm wondering if anything has changed since then. I've also skimmed through synaptic but didn't see anything promising (like gsynaptic for touchpads). Thanks. See https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 for more information.
