How to reverse the scrolling direction on Linux?

flyingrhino

Hi,

Using latest V from the repo (1.6.689.46 (Stable channel) (64-bit)) , the page scrolls in the opposite direction that I want. The entire OS (Mint 17.3 xfce) programs scroll properly (push two fingers UPWARDS on the touchpad = scroll down , roll mouse wheel upwards {away from me} is the same).

But in V , using the two fingers on the touchpad - the scrolling direction is opposite to the rest of the OS.
For some reason, the mouse wheel is fine.
It's like V is hardcoded to use two finger scrolling in a particular direction, without respecting the OS setting. But V does respect the mouse scroll direction setting in the OS.

In the OS - both mouse and touchpad have the same scroll direction settings.

Thanks.

Thanks for that - I actually use the "reverse scrolling" setting on xfce which sorts out all of the OS. But V insists on scrolling it's own way !
