Bug Description

Plasma-discover seems unable to interpret _upwards_ scrolling with a touchpad that has two-finger scrolling enabled. Scrolling works _downwards_, but when I reach the end of an app list it refuses to scroll up.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Obtain a laptop with a touchpad that support two-finger scrolling.
2) In systemsettings -> Input devices -> Touchpad -> Scrolling enable Two-Finger Scrolling.
3) Open Discover and go to any category. Attempt to use two-finger scrolling to scroll down. Then try to scroll up. Scroll to the bottom and attempt to scroll up again.

Only happens with two-finger scrolling; edge scrolling works fine. Same glitch appears whether Inverted Scrolling is enabled or disabled.

a) Kubuntu 17.10 Daily, updated as of 09102017, installed to harddrive.
b) Plasma-discover version 5.10.5-0ubuntu1
