Description Alex 2017-09-19 09:35:45 UTC 
Currently mouse wheel scrolls about 1-2 lines, and that's really too slow: to scroll down simple forum page you have to make literally hundreds of revolutions of wheel. Maybe it's possible to add some multiplier option like in firefox?
In general mouse scrolling works fine in all apps I use under gnome, only Epiphany is slow to scroll...

It should scroll about 6 lines.

Epiphany slow scrolling - better example

Here it's more visible, when font is large.
Best of all would be setting controlled via gsettings...
