Bug Description

I've got a mouse which has an horizontal and vertical scrolling wheel. When I try to use both of them at the same time (basicaly right scrolling + bottom scrolling) in Slingshot, the content of the page 1 becomes like "hidden" and page 2 becomes the first page of the menu, leaving a blank page as page 2.

I once experienced this, but I could not reproduce it reliably, and it was a while ago ( I have not seen it since). If OP could say if this still happens then yay.

Oh, I just realized I triggered it by simultaneously horizontally and vertically scrolling on my touchpad with two fingers. So if you have a touchpad with two finger scrolling and horizontal scrolling, try just whipping your fingers around quickly to trigger this.

What was described above in the original report sounds similar to what I just ran into and reported using my touchpad on my laptop.

When I get back to that laptop I'll check if it has veritcal and horizontal scrolling on the touchpad, though I don't believe it does... could be wrong though.

It appears to be related to the horizontal scrolling after all. I don't have any sort of error logs to prove it, but it seems pretty obvious if you enable and disable horizontal touchpad scrolling and then try to scramble up the Slingshot menu. With horizontal scrolling enabled, I can scramble Slingshot within seconds, if not instantly. With it disabled, I simply haven't been able to cause the issue.

Above results duplicated on two different laptops - Toshiba ultrabook and Thinkpad Edge.
