[1.1.50] Horizontal scrolling inverted with 4-way mouse wheel

Hi, i have Logitech mouse with 4-way mouse wheel. (the exact model is Logitech G502 Hero)
Recently I found that the horizontal scrolling in the Factorio is wrong. Scrolling left and right is swapped.

If i scroll down, the vertical scrollbar moves down. (OK)
If i scroll up, the vertical scrollbar moves up. (OK)
If i scroll left, the horizontal scrollbar moves to the right. (Wrong)
If i scroll right, the horizontal scrollbar moves to the left. (Wrong)

This is best seen when creating a new game in the map preview. Or in the research gui in the technology tree.

In other applications (such as a web browser), horizontal scrolling works well for me.

It is a bug in the game or problem only on my PC? Is it possible to swap the horizontal scrolling in the options? I didn't find it in the settings.
The only solution I have found is in mouse software. There I need a special profile where I swap the left and right scrolling.

Huh, I completely forgot horizontal scrolling is a thing with this mouse (Logitech G502 Hero).

Can confirm the same issue here (on 1.1.48) - left and right scrolling are reversed in Factorio. Works as expected in other programs, like Notepad++.

I'm glad it's not a bad setting on my PC. Or some game settings that I missed.

At the same time, I am wondering why no one has reported it yet. Am I the first one who use horizontal scrolling? :shock: 😲👀

[1.1.82] I can confirm that horizontal scrolling in the tech tree is opposite from expected on my macbook pro. I have "natural scrolling" disabled in system preferences.
