Horizontal scrolling is backwards

[Ryan Finnie]

Don't know where to report this specifically, sorry.

In native gnome applications (file manager, gedit, etc), scrolling horizontally via Trackpoint middle-button scrolling is backwards:

* Middle button + trackpoint move up = scroll up (expected)
* Middle button + trackpoint move down = scroll down (expected)
* Middle button + trackpoint move left = scroll right (backwards)
* Middle button + trackpoint move right = scroll left (backwards)

Scolling horizontally in Firefox and Chromium work as expected.

I think I see the same problem when I'm using the file manager Nemo and use "Compact view" as a view mode in a directory that contains as much files/subdirectories that they don't fit in the window completly (I'm using an ordinary mouse, no trackpoint).

Before Vivid I could scroll to the right by moving the mouse wheel down and scroll left by moving the mouse wheel up. Now in Vivid this has been inversed (scroll right = mouse wheel up, scroll left = mouse wheel down), which is rather irritating.

Kind regards,
Jan
