Virtual desktop scroll with mouse not working since upgrade to Kubuntu 21.04

az flag

Previously I was running Kubuntu 20.04 (and many versions before that) and I've had center roller mouse scrolling across 6 virtual desktops working for literally years. Yesterday I upgraded to 21.04 and it no longer works. I've been diving through System Settings looking for the control but cannot find it.

Workspace Behaviour -> Virtual Desktops (no)

Input Devices -> Mouse (no)

Can someone point me to where this setting exists?

Thanks

Why install 21.04 with only a few months left of support?

Two distinct situations: (1) is going out of your way to do a release-upgrade from a LTS to a non-LTS and going out of your way I mean specifically changing the default settings that would suggest a release upgrade *only* after the next LTS had been released, i.e., 22.04 (April 2022); (1.1) you'll soon need to upgrade to 21.10 and (2) yes, maybe related.

@ChanganAuto - I have exactly this problem in a LTS 22.04.

To anyone who runs across this in the future. The problem (most likely a bug) is that it's not working when the desktop is configured in 'Folder View'. Switching to 'Desktop View' resolves the problem.

Right click on your desktop. Choose (as appropriate for your version of KDE) either 'Configure Desktop' or 'Configure Desktop and Wallpaper'.In the LAyout choice choose 'Desktop'.

Hope this helps.

This answer further specifies the problem but without solving it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
