It's April of 2015, and this bug still exists. Just started happening with my Logitech M705 mouse. This is making the OS virtually unusable for me, as gently whispering at the mouse wheel appears to send it into a scrolltastic frenzy, jumping tabs, pages, etc.
Very disappointing that this was reported nearly a decade ago and has simply been punted around ever since. This is a huge UX issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse scrolling speed Status in GNOME Control Center: Confirmed Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Triaged Status in Mir: Triaged Status in Unity: Invalid Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Triaged 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.
