mouse scroll not working

Hi. My mouse scroll stopped working after one of latest system updates. It is not working at all in any application. I tried command which shows mapping of all buttons in mouse and it looks like mouse scroll is not visible for system at all (3rd button is detected but scroll not) I tried change xorg.conf options but result of any change is that computer stop during boot. Below is my 40-libinput.conf mouse section with options what I tried to on.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        #Identifier "mouse0"
        #Name "A4Tech PS/2+USB Mouse"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event4"
        #MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse0"
        #ZAxisMapping "4 5"
        #Buttons "6"
        Driver "libinput"
        #Driver "evdev"
EndSection

orginally option MatchDevicePath was "/dev/input/event*"
I got 50-vmmmouse.conf in system as well:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier    "vmmouse"
    MatchIsPointer    "on"
    MatchTag    "vmmouse"
    Driver        "vmmouse"
EndSection

this is rersult of  egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices | egrep -B1 'Handlers.*mouse'  command

N: Name="A4Tech PS/2+USB Mouse"
H: Handlers=event4 mouse0

Please help me with my problem. Thank You in advance

Re: mouse scroll not working

I've got a same problem as I've got same mouse model.
Reverting to libinput-1.13.3-1 didn't solve the problem.

I've discovered that scrolling for mouse was disabled.

xinput list-props "A4Tech PS/2+USB Mouse"
libinput Scroll Methods Available (303):        0, 0, 1
libinput Scroll Method Enabled (304):   0, 0, 0
libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (305):   0, 0, 0
libinput Button Scrolling Button (306): 2
libinput Button Scrolling Button Default (307): 2
libinput Horizontal Scroll Enabled (302):       1

I've tried to switch it on, bit it didn't work either.

sudo xinput set-prop "A4Tech PS/2+USB Mouse" 304 0, 0, 1

In a reported bug suggested workaround is to rollback kernel.

Re: mouse scroll not working

For now I solved this with

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-zen-5.1.9.zen1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
