Scroll direction inverted using mouse wheel in Firefox (Mac and Linux)

[gav-]

When editing a long table with many rows, and using the mouse wheel to scroll through table, the direction is inverted from normal page scrolling, completely confusing and super frustrating.

Trying to be clear:

• Pushing the mouse wheel away (up) scrolls my web page towards the top of page, but the editable table towards the bottom
• Pulling the mouse wheel towards me (down) scrolls my web page towards the bottom of page, but the editable table towards the top

This is under Linux Mint 20 (Ubuntu 20.04) using Firefox (90.0.2). The problem does not appear using Chrome (90.0.4430.85)

I’m seeing the same thing. Chrome works fine, in Firefox scrolling is reversed. This also happens on a Mac, not just on Linux.

It looks like the edittable plugin is using an old version of https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable.

Perhaps updating to a more recent version includes a fix, or at least allows us to report this problem upstream at handsontable.

Edit: ugh, looks like starting with version 7, handsontable is no longer open-source :( “Starting with version 7.0.0, there is only one Handsontable, as Handsontable Pro has been merged with Handsontable Community Edition.”

The handsontable example page does not show the bug to me under firefox, so presumably they fixed it at some point:

Yep @stapelberg I see 6.2.2 is the last version with the MIT licence, the version bundled with edittable appears to be 0.34.0. There are a lot of commits between the two tags so it might still be possible to upgrade. (No idea if the API changed between them though)

Hey there, I've the same issue with Firefox on Windows.
Would be nice to fix this ;-)

Another person who would appreciate this fixed sometime. I think I tried applying the updated library to the plugin but I believe that broke it and just to poor at programming to fix it.

Did anyone ever try to adapt the plugin to use Handsontable 6.2.2 ?
