SCROLLED WINDOWS AND NATURAL SCROLLING -----------------------------------------------------------
For scrolled windows, the input from the track-pad reverses... With natural scrolling DISABLED: - Sliding fingers down on a track-pad, slides the view down - Sliding fingers up on a track-pad, slides the view up And with natural scrolling ENABLED: - Sliding fingers down on a track-pad, slides the view up - Sliding fingers up on a track-pad, slides the view down "Flipping" the behavior of a scrolled window based on whether or not natural scrolling is set, makes a lot of sense. That is how it should work. VOLUME CONTROL AND NATURAL SCROLLING ----------------------------------------------------------- However, "flipping" the behavior of a volume control, based on whether or not natural scrolling is set, *does not* make sense. Volume should always go up, when you slide up. Volume should always go down, when you slide down. For volume control, the input from the track-pad should NOT reverse... With natural scrolling DISABLED: - Sliding fingers down on a track-pad, should cause volume to decrease - Sliding fingers up on a track-pad, should cause volume to increase With natural scrolling ENABLED: - Sliding fingers down on a track-pad, should STILL cause volume to decrease - Sliding fingers up on a track-pad, should STILL cause volume to increase PROPOSED SOLUTION ----------------------------------------------------------- In order to resolve this issue, I think we can apply the following rule: If org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad natural-scroll = true Then GtkVolumeButton widget should reverse the scroll event input Essentially, the widget itself would undo the "flip" caused by setting natural-scrolling. Of course, if natural scrolling isn't set, the widget would behave as it normally does. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738676 Title: With natural scrolling, horizontal sliders behave backwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1738676/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
