RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Just updated from RHEL 7.3 to RHEL 7.4
Problem 1 - Setting the 'Mouse Speed' in Gnome Settings for Mouse & Touchpad is broken. No matter what slider value is set, the speed of the pointer does not change at all.
Considering I have three screens to move through, I will either become very strong or very tired very soon.
Problem 2 - While thinking of switching to my laptop Touchpad while I figure the mouse problem out, and discover that 'Two-finger Scrolling' is now inverted??!! Scrolling down moves the page up and vice-versa. Why? Are the majority of users pilots?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-desktop3-3.22.2-2.el7.x86_64
kernel 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Easy
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to RHEL 7.4
2. Change Mouse Speed to any slider value
3. Observe that nothing changes
4. Use a laptop touchpad and try scrolling with the two-finger method
5. Enjoy the confusion for a few moments
Actual results:
as described above
Expected results:
Mouse speed should be affected by the slider settings.
Two-finger scrolling with the laptop touchpad should be reverted back to the 'natural' way of scrolling, i.e. down for down and up for up.
Additional info:
Let me know if you'll need more details.
I might have selected an inappropriate Product Component - please triage properly in case of a mistake.
UPDATE:
Ooops, Please ignore the second problem - found the new setting "Natural Scrolling" for the touchpad is responsible for the inverted scrolling.
The speed of the pointer is still a valid issue though.
