--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- Thanks for the feedback. To clarify: I'm a user who discovered this workaround accidentally while troubleshooting, and used AI to help format the bug report clearly. The technical analysis may be incorrect about the mechanism, but the reproducible behavior is real: Toggling "Invert scroll direction" in System Settings does nothing Running tail -f ~/.config/kcminputrc in a terminal, THEN toggling the checkbox → it works This workaround has been tested and confirmed working across reboots I don't know why this works - I'm not a KWin developer. But the workaround is 100% reproducible on my system. If the inotify analysis is wrong, that's fine - I'm reporting the behavior, not claiming to understand KWin's internals. Reproduction steps (verified): System: Garuda Linux, KDE Plasma 6.5.4, Wayland Without tail: Settings checkbox does nothing, scroll stays inverted With tail running: Settings checkbox works immediately If there's a better explanation for why this workaround functions, I'd genuinely like to understand it. The goal is fixing the issue, not defending my theory. P.S. AI helped me write this reply, and be glad of it. You wouldn't like my original draft. You want human bug reports? Make the process less toxic and mechanical. And maybe don't scold people trying to help exclusively for the sake of it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
