Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Web - Chat-Mouse scroll and slide functions reversely if pressed on mouse wheel

What is the root cause of that problem?

Mouse wheel direction is reversed.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can custom mouse wheel direction.

export function useHorizontalScroll() {
  const elRef = useRef();
  useEffect(() => {
    const el = elRef.current;
    if (el) {
      const onWheel = e => {
        if (e.deltaY == 0) return;
        e.preventDefault();
        el.scrollTo({
          left: el.scrollLeft + e.deltaY,
          behavior: "smooth"
        });
      };
      el.addEventListener("wheel", onWheel);
      return () => el.removeEventListener("wheel", onWheel);
    }
  }, []);
  return elRef;
}

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[KevinBlakeLopez]

I am considering presenting a proposal in the near future, and I want to verify if this is an issue worth fixing or not or whether it would be included in a wave latter on or if it will be paid out if we are able to present a solution. Is this issue a priority for you guys and will you pay out for it if a solution is presented?
