This affects me too. I noticed it as soon as I upgraded from 16.04 to
18.04.1.
It took me a while to find a workaround, so I'll document it here to
help others. I believe there are other possible ways around this, but
this one worked for me:
First, I ran synclient, to find the current scroll values. For me they were:
VertScrollDelta = -73
HorizScrollDelta = 73
As a test, I ran this command:
synclient HorizScrollDelta=-73
That fixed the problem, but only until the next reboot. To run this
every time I started up, I created a script named
FixNaturalHorizontalScroll which contained just that line, and I saved
that script in /usr/local/bin. I used this command to make it
executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/FixNaturalHorizontalScroll
Finally, I had to manually run gnome-session-properties in order to add
my new script as a startup script.
I would be happy to help debug this. It's going to be a pretty
frustrating introduction for new users coming from other systems. And it
took me a few hours to piece together that workaround.
