Are you using a mouse or the laptop touchpad?

If using the touchpad then you'll need to switch on/off natural scrolling for the touchpad and not the mouse.

Also, what model laptop are you using?

Sorry the image in comment #3 seems to have gone missing.

Please open: Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad
Now take a screenshot with Alt+PrtScn and attach it here.

The long image name is causing problems for the server and we still can't view it. Please attach image files with short file names using latin characters only (A-Z).

OK, thanks!

I can see your problem is that you have Natural Scrolling = ON for Mouse, but it needs to be enabled separately for your touchpad.

If Ubuntu is working properly you would have a separate switch for Touchpad under Mouse. So your problem is that there are no Touchpad settings listed at all. This probably means your touchpad has been incorrectly detected as a mouse...

summary: - is not adjusted for natural scrolling in the mouse control panel
+ Touchpad settings not listed under Settings > Mouse & Touchpad

helped. however, you may want to correct the defect, the position of the
switch natural scrolling is turned off, while the natural scrolling works,
the inclusion leads to the opposite effect. But maybe it was meant to.

then your issue was bug #1686081, the natural scrolling behaviour seems another problem. What do you call natural scrolling and what would you expect the behaviour to be and how is it different?

Perhaps here lies the subtleties of translation. By natural scrolling, I
mean scrolling the page in the direction of the finger movement on the
touchpad. There was a problem of including this function, it was
eliminated. The next problem I found, I can describe as the accuracy of
determining the value of the function of the switch. Probably I need to
create another bug report for this
