For gnome-control-center, this bug report was watching https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692666 so far. While still relevant, the Gnome Project has stopped using this bug tracker and has since shifted to their Gitlab instance for bug tracking. A closely related upstream bug report, which should have higher relevance for Ubuntu (after shifting to XWayland), is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1016, so I've updated the remote watch for gnome-control-center. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues #1016 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1016 ** Changed in: gnome-control-center Importance: Medium => Unknown ** Changed in: gnome-control-center Remote watch: bugzilla.gnome.org/ #692666 => gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues #1016 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/124440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 124440] Re: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed
Confirmed, gnome-control-center is where such a setting would live. So I am reopening that task at least to avoid people logging duplicate bugs. However, keep in mind that mouse wheel ticks are emitted as button click events which have no "size" that can be controlled from a central location. This means each toolkit needs to implement the setting separately. If it was implemented for GTK-3 then that's no guarantee that the setting would be honoured in Chrome or Firefox because they have their own separate toolkits. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: Markus Kühne (m-kuehne) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/124440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 124440] Re: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed
Much thanks for the workaround, in any case. xinput's obviously not really an enduser-focused tool, and the property number for evdev scrolling distance has changed to three different ones in the couple of days I've been using it. But it's nice to get basic functionality out of this mouse. I also have to think there's been a change of defaults somewhere in this case, since I'd actually used this mouse on a previous Ubuntu install I certainly hope Unity 8 will address some of these basic issues lying around, but again ... upstream or not, this is a bug that's existed for nine years.

[Bug 124440] Re: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed
I can only guess that the Ubuntu Desktop team has not been motivated to add such new configuration features because of the pending switch to Unity8. The good news is that Unity8 frees us from the link to upstream Gnome/GTK that Unity7 is subject to. So in theory we will have more freedom to add custom configuration options more rapidly in future.

[Bug 124440] Re: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed
We just need a proper mouse settings tool. In Windows, I can reassign buttons freely on my seven-button mouse through the GUI. A third-party GUI from Logitech, but a GUI nonetheless. In Ubuntu, I have to run an xinput script (manually, since Gnome's hotplug command line in dconf no longer works) to reassign everything and can't even assign the wheel tilt to back/forward doing that (changing the button map gets me two backs or forwards each click and still scrolls at the same time.) But a simple scroll speed slider in Mouse and Touchpad would certainly have been a lot nicer than having to add another line to the script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/124440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also forgot... you can make the wheel less sensitive now: 1. Find out the device name of your mouse running 'xinput' 2. Slow down the scrolling speed like with my mouse: xinput set-prop 'Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)' 'Evdev Scrolling Distance' 5 5 5 The default values are 1 1 1. It seems higher is slower. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/124440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 124440] Re: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed
I couldn't agree more. With some high-resolution gaming mice are completely unusable without the adjustment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/124440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 124440] Re: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed
I agree, it's a perfectly valid request... Just realistically it probably won't get fixed in Unity7's 'gnome- control-center (Ubuntu)' as that gets replaced by Unity8's 'ubuntu- system-settings (Ubuntu)'. More more importantly; see comment #51 where I pointed out that Linux is so eclectic that it's probably not feasible to ever fix this in an X11-based system, except separately for each class of GUI toolkit. Even with the introduction of Unity8 it will be similarly difficult, made easier only in that we control and author the low-level input system (Mir). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/124440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
