Slow mouse wheel after update

zonotope · 2024-03-12 22:42:33

I updated my arch system today for the first time in about a week. When I rebooted and connected my bluetooth mouse again, the scroll wheel became painfully slow.

Before the upgrade, pages would begin to scroll at the first click of the scroll wheel. Now it takes something like 10 clicks before it starts to move. I'm not sure what changed in the update to affect the behavior of the scroll wheel, or, more importantly, what I need to do to reverse that change and go back to the previous behavior.

My mouse is a Logitech MX Master 3, and I use Wayland, and Sway is my compositor. Does anyone know what's wrong or what I need to do to get the previous behavior?

Hi,

same mouse (MX anywhere 3), same problem after a full system update last monday.

I compared your updated packages with mine (thanks for the list), and strongly suspected either bluez stuff or the kernel.

Downgraded both and rebooted:

❯ cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
 /var/cache/pacman/pkg ❯ sudo pacman -U linux-6.7.6.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst linux-headers-6.7.6.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst bluez-utils-5.72-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst bluez-libs-5.72-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst bluez-5.72-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

My scrolling speed seems OK after that.

seth · 2024-03-13 08:54:17

OP updated from different kernel, can you pin down bluez?

zonotope · 2024-03-13 19:00:27

I can't pin it down yet, but I think it's bluez. Whenever the mouse disconnects due to inactivity, the slow scrolling behavior shows up after reconnecting. I've figured out that if I totally remove the mouse from the saved connections in blueman and then re-pair the device from scratch, the scroll wheel behaves normally.

I've also found that, after the first time I did this forget/re-pair cycle, the mouse no longer reconnects automatically after idle like it used to. I can connect it again through blueman, but the scroll wheel is still slow. I have to explicitly forget the device and then re-pair in order for it to work normally.

It could be the new kernel, but I suspect it's the bluez stuff.

SHould be easy enough to verify by updating the kernel, but keeping bluez down or vv - ideally only one combination will exhibit the bug and allow you to bark up the proper tree about it

zonotope · 2024-03-13 21:24:25

Yep, that's essentially what I did. I just had to wait for the mouse to disconnect because it was idle for long enough.

I downgraded bluez but left the kernel the same and the problem seems to have gone away. Looks like a bug in the latest version of bluez then.

seth · 2024-03-13 21:29:52

There's a rebuild w/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bl … gmail.com/ in the pipeline - smells related.
Maybe wait for 5.73-4 (currently in extra-testing) before reporting upstream.

Just in case: read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Offici … positories before using them.

tradiff · 2024-03-16 23:14:02

I just want to share another workaround I found. (same mouse, same issue, started around the same time). When it's acting up, running this seems to restore the original scroll sensitivity.

sudo systemctl disable --now bluetooth; sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth

Not sure why this works, but things like restarting the mouse, or disconnecting/reconnecting the mouse doesn't work.

Thanks tradiff, this was driving me nuts and your workaround really helps! I hope it gets sorted out soon.

seth · 2024-03-20 13:32:50

5.73-4 is meanwhile in Extra - it does not fix this?
You'll have to fix a bug upstream then, it's not going away wishmagically.

sfy · 2024-03-22 15:55:25

I have the same problem, also with MX Master 3, using bluez-5.73-4

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

solves the problem, but a bit irritating. Should be the bluez package, yes.

5.73-4 doesn't seem to have effected any change, no. Unfortunately I'm struggling to find where to submit bugs upstream.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetoot … 94b0780b9d kinda looks at me…

JKing · 2024-03-23 03:14:39

Thanks, Seth. It does indeed appear to be Bluez: I downgraded to 5.72-2 earlier and now my mouse works as normal, so I guess I'll file a bug report.

Same problem with Logitech mouse, downgrade helped as described on the wiki:

pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/bluez-5.72-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
systemctl restart bluetooth.service

Can't find the correct version to downgrade to on https://aur.archlinux.org/. No old versions saved in the cache.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

Perfect, thank you!

Same here, I've been restarting bluetooth for a month now after suspend. Downgrading to 5.72-2 resolved it for the moment.

Ventil1 · 2024-04-17 08:47:55

There was a new bluez update yesterday. Version 5.75-1.
Has anyone tried if it works fine with the new version?

The slow mouse wheel issue does not happen again with my logitech mx anywhere 3 now
