Linux - scroll direction does not respect system scroll direction

#1

Heya,
I am trying to get ST3 on my Xubuntu 16.10 desktop to scroll in “natural scrolling” mode (move wheel up => pages goes down), like it does on Mac. My desktop is XFCE, but I also have KDE and Gnome apps on my system. The settings on all three are configured for Natural Scrolling, and other apps seem to respect this behaviour.
How can I get Sublime to respect my system preferences?
Failing that, how can I force sublime to scroll in this way?
Runnig 3126 but I assume previous releases worked the same way.
Cheers
Jarrad

My first thought to force ST to scroll in that direction was to override the sublime-mousemap file, but it seems that scroll_up and scroll_down events without a modifier are ignored i.e. it isn’t possible to override these events.

I think it not the ST problem because it works fine in Gnome Shell 3.22.2. I’m using Archlinux.
