Bug Description
Steps:
1) Open the control center and open User Interface.
2) Move the mouse pointer to the "Launcher icon size" slider.
3) Scroll the mouse wheel upwards.
4) Notice that the slider moves to the left.
5) Scroll the mouse wheel downwards
6) Notice that the slider moves to the right.
This is opposite of how all other sliders work, including the volume control, for instance.
-------
Desired Solution:
The logical incremental direction is left to right (horizontally) and bottom to top (vertically).
Vertically (e.g.: with scrollbars), to move the thumb towards the bottom, we move the finger (on top of the mouse wheel) towards us.
Hence the same movement, when we have horizontal slider, should move the thumb from right to left.
On my current Precise build the Launcher tile in the Appearance panel and the slider in the Sound indicator work fine.
