I have this setting checked but scrolling direction in mousepad does not change. The option is working because the following apps I have checked and do change scroll direction properly when I check or uncheck the option. - thunar - chrome browser - eclipse - xfce4-terminal - Firefox - LibreOffice - Settings Manager - gimp FYI, these apps also has this issue if that helps. - Document Viewer - notepadqq - Software Using in xubuntu 16.04. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial
Mousepad uses GtkSourceView for the editor widget. Does this setting work in Gedit? (it also uses GtkSourceView). If it doesn't, it would be better to report a bug with the GtkSourceView component on GTK+'s bug tracker. If it gets fixed there it will fix all editors which use this widget.

I just tested with Gedit on Ubuntu 16.04, it also doesn't respect this setting.
Building from git on my machine produces a version of mousepad that does respect the setting. Go figure. I followed the build instructions and installed packages as autogen complained about missing them.
So, problem fixed ? :)
Changing to RESOLVED-FIXED since comment #3 indicates it's been fixed upstream and I don't think in any case this is related to Mousepad's code itself.
