KDE 6.7 invert scroll direction
New Arch install with KDE Plasma 6.7.0 (first recent experience with KDE). Settings > Mouse & Touchpad > Invert scroll direction has absolutely no effect. Searching the web turns up reports that this can be an issue with Wayland, but I haven't found any way to fix it so far. Has anyone else run into this? Happy to supply any system information that might be relevant.
It's a minor irritant, of course, but coming from MacOS I've become accustomed to "natural" scrolling and prefer it.

Re: KDE 6.7 invert scroll direction
Is this a touchpad or a mouse wheel?
From https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/l … t_working/ there seem to be separate configs

Re: KDE 6.7 invert scroll direction
Thank you for that! I knew I had to be missing something.
This is a desktop machine, no trackpad. Also the Reddit entry is 5 years old, so there are no tabs as indicated. There is a Device drop-down instead, which hadn't occurred to me as I only have one mouse. As it turns out, I suppose because I'm using a usb dongle for my keyboard, the drop-down also shows my keyboard and a mouse that might go with it. It was set to the wrong device, but I hadn't noticed.
Anyway, thanks for that link, it nudged me in the right direction.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
