No option to change mouse wheel sensitivity in mouse properties.

[sgtmattbaker]

In Ubuntu release 9.04 there is no way to change the sensitivity of the scroll wheel or really modify the mouse settings in any way (except for left-right orientation and pointer sensitivity) through the default mouse preferences screen. This should be a fairly basic feature.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Judging from your description, I am going to assign this bug to the gnome-control-center package in hopes that it will have a faster response. If you believe that I have chosen the wrong package, please change your bug to the correct one. Good luck on getting it fixed!

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

You can change the cursor speed and acceleration in the mouse capplet no?

[sgtmattbaker (presbp-hotmail)]

I am not talking about the cursor speed and acceleration. The problem is that the sensitivity of the scrolling of a mouse wheel cannot be easily configured.

[Adil Arif (adisari06)]

I can confirm that his wishlist bug is accurate. This is indeed something that needs to be sent upstream.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

 - This is a feature request and not a papercut.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.
Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

Vish: How does this not qualify as a papercut?

[Vish (vish)]

@Darxus : As mentioned earlier, this bug requests a new option / feature which does not exist yet. [to add scrolling speed.]
New feature requests are not papercuts.

comment from upstream : "Each application can already do that themselves (it's the "page" size), and I'm
not sure it actually means anything nowadays, when a "line" has variable
height." marking it as won't fix.
