[Bug 1318203] [NEW] Scrolling via Mouse Scrolling Wheel fails to operate

[Jeb E.]

Public bug reported:

I'm not on a touch-based setup, neither are most of the general publics'
computers. When I try to scroll up and down using the scrolling wheel, I
only get so far, usually only about 1cm or so up or down the page, then
am forced to do the drag-and-drop technique on the screen from up to
down or vice versa to scroll properly like on a touch-based setup. This
does not feel natural for most common computer users and ends up being
more of a hassle, especially because every other program in Ubuntu for
Desktop uses the scrolling wheel just fine. Similar issues have also
been reason to blame for Windows 8's massive public backlash - All
simply because of the obvious - We all don't have touchscreen computers
to make these fluid movements that control actions.

Please add better Keyboard and Mouse input/output support for not just
the Friends app, but also other apps transferred from Ubuntu Touch.
