That doesn't sound like normal behavior to me.

In any gnome 3 distro I've ever used, I've only ever had to change it in the gnome control center and it works system wide.

Right now I'm running solus mate and changing it in the mate mouse and touchpad settings is system wide and works in both qt and gtk apps...

Were you using a touchpad driver other than libinput?

I don't know what mouse driver I was using (I don't use a touchpad except on laptops, and all my linux machines have been desktops). I would have assumed it was whatever the default was for Ubuntu over the years. :)

(Actually, I do remember that in some versions you had to figure out how to trick the system into thinking you might have a touchpad before it would provide you a place to change the mouse wheel scroll direction, but that seems like a separate failure of preference panels, rather than the root of the issue).
