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. That does not however explain or excuse us for failing to add this feature in the previous 9 years since this bug was logged. -- 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: Confirmed 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.
