Even if it's actually an easy fix, as a new contributor you'll need some degree of familiarity with the codebase before you can identify the bug and figure out the proper way to fix it. Getting there may require quite significant time investment, especially for project this big where the code seems to be split across 4 rather large git repos. I don't have much free time left to dig into a large project like this at the moment.

Also, if it's really that easy to fix, I feel like the devs would've fixed this already in the past 4 years, though it's possible the devs simply don't use any mouse with horizontal scroll support to reproduce the issue.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
