Description

Describe the bug
In the Timeline panel, vertical scroll has the expected behaviour, but horizontal scroll does not. This affects both mice with horizontal scroll wheels and trackpads

If I scroll horizontally either left or right, the Timeline panel acts as if I've scrolled down.

To Reproduce
Using a mouse with horizontal scroll or a trackpad, load up a Timeline and scroll horizontally. The timeline will move vertically, but not horizontally.

Expected behavior
I would expect the timeline to scroll horizontally, as though I'd dragged the horizontal scroll bar.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Win11 & MacOS Sequoia
  • Device: Logitech MX Master 3 on Win11, laptop trackpad on MacOS

Research direction

Start by locating the Timeline panel and reproduce the issue with horizontal mouse-wheel or trackpad input on the reported platforms. Compare that behavior with dragging the horizontal scrollbar. Done means horizontal input moves the timeline left and right without changing vertical scroll position.
