Horizontal scroll w/ mouse wheel breaks camera zoom and instead tilts camera

Hi, I’ve found using Logitech Options to disable or swap functions of Horizontal scroll was a viable solution for developing on my macOS Big Sur devices.

I hate to bump the topic again, but I have found how to replicate it, and how to prevent it from happening. It tends to happen when you scroll wheel your camera while holding the shift lock key. Sometimes it happens, but if you bind the shift lock key to control, it 100% will happen. Not sure if it has something to do with shift lock or control key yet.

Same thing with my Logitech M720 Triathlon, this has been going on for years now and needs to be fixed.

Saw this got bumped, so felt the need to explain this issue.

This issue is relevant in Logitech mice and many other brands of mice. As I’m not clear on what exactly Logitech (or any other company) is doing to cause this issue, I can not give a definitive cause. What I can give is a guess:

When you hold Control, the mouse will treat the scroll as a pan (panning on most modern browsers will zoom in and out), therefore causing the horizontal snapping to occur. Lifting Control does alert the mouse of this event, however Roblox will still treat scrolling as panning. Roblox has said they were issuing fixes for this in the past, but I guess never happened.

I have a Logitech G502 myself, and I’ve been experiencing this problem ever since I got the thing.

I’m not sure if this issue ONLY occurs with LGS (or any other software from the brand of the mouse you may be using) installed, but if thats the case that would explain everything.

This has just randomly started happening to me. I’ve never had this bug before.
Mouse is a Razer Deathadder V2.

Still an issue for certain players.

May apply the fixes listed above but I do not see any use for left/right scrolling for the mouse wheel.

What other game has used the mouse scroll for movement of the camera left/right or up/down?

This happens to me way to often. Although I have only had this problem in certain games. Games that include different camera positions. For example after exiting buildmode in Bloxburg or Retail Tycoon 2.

Has been happening to me on multiple mice, games and PCs. It always happens when i do Control and scroll. I and O of course work but that brings its own issues.

Holding down ctrl and mouse wheel

Just happened to me on a Razer viper ultimate

I use this mouse too and it happens WAY too often

Annoyingly, this is still occouring for me!
It’s been occouring for a long time. Systems which use CTRL+CLICK to build must suffer from this, as you sometimes hold down CTRL & scroll to get a better view

Overall, it’s CTRL+SCROLL WHEEL that messes up this.
I wish this could be fixed soon.

The likelihood Roblox actually ends up fixing this is pretty low, as I stated before they said they were going to fix the issue but never got around to it. Its either that or their fix didn’t work.

What I can say is to merely avoid using the scroll wheel while holding down the Control key. Although a little complex, you’ll get used to it.

Hopefully Roblox addresses this concern, and in the future, fix this issue for good.

Bumping this with little hope of any action being taken. This bug has been around for months now. It’s 100% reproducible yet it’s still not fixed.

  • Games that rely on Ctrl being a commonly used are hardest hit. It’s detrimental to gameplay in a lot of cases.

  • This bug is reproducible by pressing Ctrl while zooming. It only happens in live games, and is not dependent on the mouse type. (I’ve tried it on Logitech, Razer, and Corsair mice). Once broken, the only fix is to completely rejoin the game.

If anyone has any temporary fixes I’m completely open to hearing it. This bug is completely ruining the gameplay for a lot of my game’s players and at this point I’m taking any fix I can get.

just noting that while it produces the same effect, this is distinct? from the bug you’ve mentioned, which is noted in this other bug report. two separate actions that cause the same effect, and that both seem to be present or not present in specific live games.
