Natural scrolling stopped working yesterday

Hi, I am running Arch with KDE Plasma on a Dell XPS 13, and until yesterday natural scrolling worked fine. Now it stopped working. I checked and the natural scrolling option is still turned on in the KDE Settings. Has anyone else had this issue, or perhaps know a way to resolve it? Thanks so much!

Re: Natural scrolling stopped working yesterday

I had this issue on a Dell XPS 15. Natural scrolling would work only about half the time after a power cycle. I was finally able to fix it a few days ago by creating the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf containing the following:

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "touchpad"
	Driver "libinput"
	MatchIsTouchpad "on"
	Option "Tapping" "on"
	Option "TappingButtonMap" "lrm"
	Option "NaturalScrolling" "true"
EndSection
