I'm seeing the same behavior under 16.04, on a desktop with a mouse (no laptop touchpad). There's no "natural scrolling" option in "system settings | mouse & touchpad", so to get natural scrolling, I put this in my ~/.Xmodmap: pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 (note 4 & 5 are reversed). Just to be clear, "natural scrolling" means movement is opposite the window's scrollbar: move mousewheel up, & the window scrollbar should move down.
The Xmodmap setting happily affects firefox, chromium, thunderbird, xterm, etc., but not gnome-terminal, files (nautilus), & cool-retro- term. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637688 Title: Terminal and file manager scrolls inverted Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm having this issue, all other programs are scrolling as "Natural Scrolling", just like Mac does, however only Terminal and File browser have "Reversed Scrolling", they should be consistent across apps and programs, maybe it's nautilus the one that inverts the scrolling? Only could find this issue in Terminal and File Browser, attaching bug info from terminal. Release version: Description: Ubuntu 16.10 Release: 16.10 Terminal version: Not sure, it should be the latest one that comes with this Ubuntu version. Expected behavior: I expected to scroll in the same direction as all other apps in my OS. Current Behavior: I scrolled up with mouse wheel, with "Natural Scrolling" all apps scroll down, but terminal and file manager scrolls up, it is indeed inverted.
