Hi All, I'm marking this bug as "won't fix" for Unity 7 because we are unable to differentiate between which device is sending the scroll event. However we should be able respond differently to different types of input device in Unity 8, so this should be something we can do in the future.

It was especially useful on smaller screens (like my 13.3" laptop) with multiple apps in the Launcher (running or pinned). Now, two finger scrolling with the cursor over the Launcher does nothing. Except when precisely over the icon which is associated with more than one window (two or more windows of the same application) in the same virtual desktop when it allows to switch between those windows. Is there a switch/setting to change this behaviour? ---------------- Desired solution: - The 'window switching using the mouse wheel when the cursor is over a Launcher icon' should only be triggered by the mouse wheel, and should not be triggered by a two-finger trackpad gesture. - Performing a two finger scroll gesture on a trackpad when the cursor is over the Launcher should move the Launcher vertically.
