User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20180105065505 Steps to reproduce: Hello, team. Currently, the mouse wheel behaviour for page scrolling is fixed: Vertical scrolling is made when the mouse wheel is scrolled with no modifier key while the horizontal scrolling is made with "mouse wheel + modifier key". It is clear that vertical scrolling is treated as a major scrolling behaviour. However, this may not be the desired defaults for some cases. Consider the following code: ---------- <!DOCTYPE html> <html style="writing-mode: vertical-rl;"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"><title>test</title> </head> <body> ... ... ... </body> </html> ---------- When the page-level writing-model is vertical, the page content is much more likely to have a horizontal scrollbar then to have a vertical one. So in these cases, it makes sense to have horizontal scrolling adapted to be the major scrolling behaviour(mouse whell without a modifier key), and vertical scrolling adapted to be minor(mouse whell with a modifier key)
It would be great if we implement the scrolling direction to be logical instead of being actual. That is major/minor, not horizontal/vertical
Version: 57 Branch → 58 Branch
To be specific, the rational logical scrolling defaults would be devided into 3 cases: 1. vertical-rl: major: wheel up = page shifted leftwards wheel down = page shifted rightwards minor: wheel up = page shifted upwards wheel down = page shifted downwards 2. vertical-lr: major: wheel up = page shifted rightwards wheel down = page shifted leftwards minor: wheel up = page shifted upwards wheel down = page shifted downwards
Summary: Mouse wheel behaviour defaults should be adapted to the page-level writing-model → Mouse wheel behaviour defaults should be adapted to the page-level writing-mode
3. horizontal-tb: current behaviour
