      The wrong way. Scrolling moves the content instead of moving the “camera”.

      Touch screens move the content. Mouse wheels have always moved the observer/camera. They’re pushing the touch scrolling style to mouse wheels too.

        It’s honestly strange we haven’t agreed on a better naming convention like “touch screen scrolling” and “desktop scrolling” to indicate their intended uses

        Thanks for explaining, because based on the displayed pucture and the direction arrows in the content window you would think it’s the other way - scrolling mouse wheel up to move content up.

        Confusing way too display it, but I guess whoever is in that settings window knows what they’re on at the moment and that it would invert it.
