When using my horizontal scroll wheel on my mouse, the direction is flipped. It is only inverted in Cursor. Using the same mouse wheel, on the same workspace, on the same file in VS Code, the scroll direction is normal. Is this configurable or fixable?
I’ve fully reinstalled Cursor, deleting temp files manually, but it’s still broken.
Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100
It doesn’t stop me from using cursor but it is highly annoying and prompts me to reconsider going back to vs code.

Same here!! also on windows, im pretty sure it was working this morning and now it is inverted (same version of cursor 50.3)
and i thought i was going crazy… haha
you can fix it in settings.json via
"editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity": -1
however this also flips the vertical scroll direction so not really useful… needs a fix
Depressed, I thought it was a problem with my configuration, and I searched online for many solutions but none worked
Same issue here.
