            Bug ID: 126680
           Summary: Horizontal scrolling direction reversed with touchpad
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.2 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jcgoran at protonmail.com

Description:
The horizontal scrolling direction in all Libreoffice products, when using a
two-finger swipe to navigate around a document, is inverted (if I perform a
right swipe, the scrollbar moves to the left, and vice versa).
The vertical scrolling direction, when performing the up/down swipe, works as
expected. All of the other applications which feature horizontal scrolling that
I've tested so far (firefox, evince, gimp) exhibit the correct behavior, and I
haven't managed to find a setting in Libreoffice which might be able to correct
this.
My system does not have any kind of "reverse scrolling direction" setting
activated. I've also checked that activating this setting does not reverse the
horizontal scrolling direction, but just the vertical one, in all applications
(including Libreoffice).

Note: I don't know if this is related to bug 76017, or if the bug is, as
mentioned there, vendor-specific, but unfortunately I don't have another
platform to test this on.
I am not using Windows nor the Linux Synaptic driver, so I thought that a
separate report could be useful.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any Libreoffice product (calc, writer, etc.) on a laptop
2. use a two-finger swipe gesture from left to right on the touchpad

Actual Results:
The horizontal scrollbar moves from right to left, the opposite of the swipe
gesture

Expected Results:
The horizontal scrollbar should move from left to right, in the same direction
as the swipe gesture


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
