[opensource-dev] Reversed mouse scroll direction causes chaotic scrolling/zooming in the viewer

I've just reported https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25664
"Reversed direction mousewheel scroll causes major scroll jitter"

I've only found this so far on a Mac running MagicPrefs (to reverse
the scroll direction) and using a MagicMouse.  However, I suspect a
deeper problem that would become a major usability issue on OSX Lion
(where reversed scrolling seems to be default).  I found some notes on
how to possibly set up a test in Linux, but I don't think Windows can
even think that direction at the moment... (Notes in the JIRA entry.)

Just an annoying edge-case bug right now, but if it can be fixed
before Lion is released it will prevent some headaches... :)
