The scroll wheel is upside down

[MalneyKerman]

When I scroll up in a window with a scroll-bar, it moves down, and when I scroll down, it moves up.  I assume this is the fashionable ~natural~ scroll direction, imitating mobile phones, but it annoys me.  This problem does not exist for me outside KSP.  How do I change it?

I'm not sure when, exactly, you're talking about. Is it when right click to open a menu to do Science™?

 

You might be able to turn it around in 'Settings' where you can change your key bindings.

It's a known bug on Linux, will be fixed in next patch

If the OP is on windows... (I'm going to assume, like the joke about crossfitters, vegans and tesla owners, don't worry, they'll tell you they're on linux)

It's whenever there's a window with a scroll-bar, including in Settings.  Also, I have to scroll down to zoom in in the flight scene, and scroll up to go down the length of the rocket in the VAB.

The bug was reported for linux (link).  Squad sometimes fix bugs without even noticing them on the bug-tracker, but they have not yet acknowledged this one.

The bug-report says this old fix still solves the problem:

I fixed it on mine by changing "scale = 1" to "scale = -1" in the settings.cfg under "AXIS_MOUSEWHEEL"

  I'm collecting such fixes here for folks who do not have a login to the bug tracker.

The above fix fixes everything except the scroll-bar problem.  I suppose I'll have to hold out for the bugfix.

And now that the bugfix is out, I'll have to change it back.
