double finger slide on desktop background switches virtual desktop.

[William Unruh]

Something has changed in my system. If I now do a double finger slide on
a desktop background, it switches destop. I do not want this, and it
never used to wrk that way. Something changed and I do not know what.
Any help would be appreciated.

It does it with the mouse scroll wheel, too.

Assuming Plasma:

1. Right click on an empty part of the desktop to get the context menu.
2. Select "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper."
3. Select "Mouse Actions."
4. You should see an action for "vertical scroll" that says something
like switch desktops."
5. Click on the red minus sign to remove it, or click on the little
wrench to change it to a different action.
6. Click on "Apply."

That should do it.

Thanks for the guidance. Wonder how it got changed on me? probably some
accidental mouse movements.

You'll probably never know. Willaim
I irregularly would find my desktop effects disabled, still enabled in
the setting. but non functional

It came to pass that "kwinrc" was becoming corrupted. I haven't located
the actual text line but I keep a backup copy in the ~/.config folder.
The old method born of desperation was to delete most of
".config" let it rebuild.

More likely some bugfix/security update to a Plasma component changed
the configuration in some fashion. Mageia has a policy of not messing
with user settings if at all possible, but the Friendly Folks at KDE
don't seem to have the same compulsion.

There seems to be little our developers can do about the situation.
