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 Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed Status in gnome-control-center: Unknown Status in GTK+: Unknown Status in Mir: Fix Released Status in Unity: Invalid Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: New 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.
