In Notepad++ (version 7.6.1) scrolling with 2 fingers will switch to the next file in the next tab when the EOF is reached.

Expected behaviour: When scrolling to the EOF the scrolling stops (and does not switch to the next file(s) in a loop)

Remarks: When I disable "2 finger scrolling" in the Ubuntu settings and enable "Edge Scrolling" the scrolling works as expected (stop on EOF).

I found scrolling in notepad++ to be extremely sensitive to horizontal scroll, causing the scrolling through tabs when scrolling with two fingers. A fix for this while keeping two finger scroll is to disable horizontal scrolling only, which I managed by this answer:

  1. Install "libinput-tools" (this package name is slightly different from 16.04) and dependencies in terminal by running the following commands:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libinput-tools

  1. Then enter the following line in terminal

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

  1. The file will open in text editor. In the touchpad section, just before the line indicating the end of the section, add the following line:

Option "HorizontalScrolling" "False"

  1. Save and close the configuration file and restart. Horizontal scrolling should be disabled.
