Smooth scrolling does not work with Logitech smooth scroll wheel

[Dylan McCall]

Smooth scrolling recently landed in Gtk3, and the feature is working well with the synaptics trackpad on my laptop computer.

I tried it with a Logitech Performance MX mouse, which has a smooth scroll wheel. With that mouse, as before, scrolling is only happening in large increments after turning the wheel a large amount. Somewhat of a shame, because it would be amazingly excellent if smooth scrolling worked with this kind of mouse.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

There is a way to fix this - see https://github.com/pwr/Solaar/issues/158
This requires sending specific HID commands to the mouse and then setting an evdev option, the first part of which can be accomplished using Solaar.
