On Ubuntu 13.10, AMD64, everything default (Unity 7 on X.org etc), except for installing nvidia-319-updates, all current packages as of now (2013-10-17; unity 7.1.2+13.10.20131014.1-0ubuntu1), I now have this behaviour which is different from Ubuntu versions up to 13.04, and, is also inconsistent within itself. Here's what I've found: The scrolling behaviour has changed, and seems to be different per application in Ubuntu 13.10. The old behaviour (up to 13.04): mouse pointer above window would allow scrolling, regardless of focus Apps that use the old behaviour: libreoffice, firefox, gnome-terminal The new behaviour (13.10): window must be focused, and pointer hovered above to allow scrolling Apps that use the new behaviour: nautilus, gedit, ubuntu-bug, software-updater STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open gEdit, press enter until the window is scrollable. 2. Open Firefox, go to a webpage that's scrollable. 3. Place gEdit above Firefox but off to the right side so gEdit's scrollbar is still visible, have gEdit focused. 4. Position mouse pointer above gEdit, observe scrollwheel causes gEdit window to scroll. 5. Move mouse pointer above Firefox but do not focus Firefox, observe scrollwheel causes Firefox window to scroll. 6. Focus Firefox, leave pointer above Firefox, observe scrollwheel causes Firefox window to scroll 7. Move mouse pointer above gEdit but do not focus gEdit, observe scrollwheel FAILS to cause gEdit window to scroll. This behaviour is the same with any combination of the above apps (libreoffice, firefox, gnome-terminal all scrollable as long as pointer is above them; nautilus, gedit, software-updater, ubunut-bug will not scroll unless focused *and* have pointer above them) What *SHOULD* happen, is that any window will scroll as long as the pointer is above it. That's how it's always been in Ubuntu.
