Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug

After moving to 5.6.0, Scope / histogram exposure scroll direction was reversed, meaning that scroll up will make exposure/black point lower; while scroll down will make them higher.

This is obviously a regression unless designed with a purpose. I remember in 5.4.0 the direction was aligned with other tools.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open any image in darkroom
  2. Go to the scope / histogram
  3. Scroll mouse wheel up while hovering on the exposure partition
  4. Notice the value going down
Expected behavior

Scroll up = Increase value; Down = Decrease.

This should be a trivial reproduction for DT 5.6.0.

Research direction

Reproduce the regression in darktable 5.6.0 by opening an image in darkroom and scrolling over the scope/histogram exposure partition. Trace the mouse-wheel handling for exposure and black point, then verify that scrolling up increases the value and scrolling down decreases it on Windows.
