GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 724935
Volume decreases when scrolling over indicator after "Content sticks to fingers" is selected in gnome-settings-daemon
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:31:39 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1) Start gnome-shell with "Content sticks to fingers" enabled in Mouse & Touchpad settings 2) Two-finger scroll upwards (slide two fingers from bottom of touchpad towards top) over the volume indicator Expected result: Volume increases Actual result: Volume decreases The point of "Content sticks to fingers" is to enable "natural" scrolling. It is never "natural" for the volume to move in the opposite direction of one's fingers. Likewise, if the volume slider "sticks" to fingers as the setting suggests, the slider would move up -- that is, volume would increase. Workaround: Rather than use Mouse & Touchpad, add a "Startup Application" to run a synclient command (e.g; synclient VertScrollDelta=-107 HorizScrollDelta=-107). This results in the shell's volume indicator behaving as expected.

Same problem here. This makes changing the volume scrolling very unintuitive.
Confirming the reversion of the direction isn't needed here, see my comment on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703046
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
