Description

Right now, it seems to move opposite to the browser scrolling. If you move wheel up, then the slider moves forward which is opposite of how browser works. Is there an option to reverse it?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the slider mouse-wheel behavior described in the issue and locating the jQuery UI slider handling for wheel input. The change would be complete when users can configure the wheel direction so upward scrolling matches browser behavior, with coverage for the selected direction.
