Bug ID: 483601
Summary: Virtual Desktop switching through mouse scroll does
not respect mouse scrolling direction settings under
Mouse and Touchpad
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
If you use a mouse(or touchpad) and try to switch the virtual desktop using
Super + Alt + mouse scroll, then the virtual desktop switching works but in
opposite direction of mouse scroll.
If the user has not selected "Invert scroll direction", then scrolling
downwards along with Super + Alt keys combo, the user should be taken to next
virtual desktop. But, currently this action takes user to the previous desktop,
and if the user is on the first desktop, the action has no effect at all.
The switching works as if "Invert scroll direction" is selected, irrespective
of actual selection of the setting.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In System Settings, configure 2 virtual desktops, and display them in 2
rows in pager(to emphasize the problem for mouse users as there is no
horizontal scroll option). Issue remains the same if you display them in
however many rows you want.
2. Make sure that you have deselected "Invert scroll direction" under System
Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad -> Mouse.
3. Now, go to the first virtual desktop if you are not there already.
4. Press Super + Alt keys combination, and simultaneously scroll mouse wheel
downwards. You will NOT be taken to 2nd/next virtual desktop as expected.
5. Now, repeat above step but scroll mouse wheel upwards. You will be taken to
the 2nd virtual desktop.
OBSERVED RESULT
The virtual desktop switching does not respect the mouse scroll direction
setting. This creates a very confusing and rough experience for user as the
scroll direction works as expected in all other apps for the user, but not for
desktop switching.
EXPECTED RESULT
The virtual desktop switching must respect the mouse scroll direction setting.
Scrolling down should take user to the next desktop and scrolling up should
take user to the previous desktop.
