"Reverse mouse" option changes scroll direction of Trackpad

[parMaster]

MacBook Pro Early 2015 with Logitech M185 mouse connected
I guess I can't say the app is working as intended

This state

Doesn't change anything, as expected. MacBook trackpad scrolls naturally, like iPad screen. Mouse wheel is inverted.

I want to reverse mouse wheel and keep the Trackpad direction as it is, So I check "Reverse mouse"

Actual result: Scroll direction is reversed for both - built-in Trackpad and external Mouse

Expected result: Trackpad scroll direction stays the same, Mouse scroll direction is reversed.

Isn't that what the app is supposed to do?

I've had this same problem since about the past month as well.
MacBook Air 2020, Logitech Marathon mouse, running the latest release of Big Sur.

I'm experiencing a similar problem on a M1 MacBook Air. I have scroll reverser configured the same way as shown above. Using the trackpad, scrolling on the trackpad is in the natural direction most of the time but it glitches and reverses direction sometimes which is getting really annoying. I'll be scrolling in one direction on a page and then suddenly the direction changes and it will start scrolling in the opposite direction.

I've had the same problem expect it only occurs sometimes on 14' Macbook Pro. However, disabling and re-enabling scroll reverser fixes the problem.

Same issue, my workaround is quitting and relaunching Scroll Reverser.

• 13-inch MBP 2018 (Intel)
• Monterey 12.1
• Scroll Reverser 1.8.1

Same problem here

• monterey 12.1
• scroll reverser 1.8.1

Same here. Big Sur 11.6, MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018). Restarting the app helped, but it will probably return soon...

Same issue here on a M1 Air 2020. I'm on macOS 12.3 now, but the issue started spontaneously some time ago, uncorrelated with any updates as far as I can tell. I also noticed it on my work Intel MacBook Pro.

Today after I closed and reopened the lid the issue became constant instead of glitching: if I disable Scroll Reverser or disable Reverse Mouse, the scroll direction of the trackpad is natural as configured. If I enable it with these settings, it's unexpectedly reversed. The Reverse Trackpad option doesn't seem to have any effect.

Still having the same issue with latest version of the program.

Having this issue as well. Even if the "reverse trackpad" button is unchecked, scroll reverser will still change the direction of the trackpad.

Facing the same issue, it was not happening earlier - I believe at some point an update broke it for me.
