Sideways scrolling works very badly with mouse

[forteller]

Hi. Quite a few mice have a scroll wheel that also can be pushed to the side to scroll sideways. When I use such a mouse and see a sideways scrolling UI, I expect to be able to scroll trough it that way.

This works so poorly on Flathub that I would say that it doesn't work at all. Both with the featured apps slider thingy on the front page and on screenshots you have to hold the scroll wheel in position, and then it slowly moves, jaggedly. If you let go it snaps back. On the front page you seem to be able to do this as much as you like, but with the screenshots it only works once, and then even that stops working.

Expected behavior is that you just have to click sideways on the scroll wheel once to move to the next/previous item/screenshot.

Thanks for your great work! :)

The upstream issue seems to be resolved, according to that link. How often does Flathub update this part of the website, so that I can check if it actually resolves the issue? Thanks! :)

I already updated to the relevant version

Thanks! Then upstream doesn't seem to actually have fixed it after all, because nothing has changed for me.

It changed for my mouse

Still doesn't work for me. I asked on Reddit for more people to test, unfortunately only one did, but it didn't work for them either https://www.reddit.com/r/flatpak/comments/1fx33p5/help_me_test_a_bug_on_flathub/

I'm on Firefox 131.02

It would be interesting to see the values your mouse produces and report them upstream

[forteller]

Sure. How would I find those?
