Side-scrolling switcher switches in "wrong" direcion.

If you side scroll on the unity switcher (probably using a touchpad), the switcher responds by going in the opposite direction to the way you scrolled.

How to reproduce:

Press Alt,and tap Tab.
Side-scroll.

Do you have horizontal scrolling enabled? When it's disabled, it converts vertical scrolls to horizontal, which results in the mirroring of scrolling which is actually normal.

[Michael Rawson (michael.rawson)]

I do have horizontal scrolling enabled. Disabling it just results in me not being able to side scroll.

Vertical scrolling works fine (and logically), it's just that the horizontal scroll works in the opposite direction to expected. Horizontal scrolling works fine in all other applications.

Confirmed.
