Natural scrolling using ".Xmodmap": pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 doesn't work anymore in 12.04 on some Ubuntu-specific apps like the Software Center, settings window, and update-center. Under what package should I report the bug?

I'm horribly late to this, but I just finished writing a guide which could help you or anyone passing by. If you still have this problem, that is.

That's great. It actually fixed the problem for me! Thanks so much! – Luke Hoersten May 28 '12 at 14:07
Works for me as well. But note that you have to turn of the Natural Scrolling application afterwards. Otherwise the behavior in all windows is just inverted :) – Steven Roose Aug 2 '12 at 6:45
@Andy C. is there a way to do the same for my mouse? – Steven Roose Aug 6 '12 at 15:45

Bug #949465 is a similar-sounding duplicate which was reported for natural scrolling in Nautilus. It's filed against the libxi package, so you may want to try filing it there.

Either that, or may want to try filing bugs against the packages for all affected windows. For example, the packages for the software you have listed above would be:

  • Ubuntu Software Center: software-center
  • System Settings: gnome-control-center
  • Update Manager: update-manager

You can report bugs against any of these by running ubuntu-bug in a terminal, followed by the name of the desired package.

Thanks a lot. I'll do that. – Luke Hoersten Mar 28 '12 at 20:37
