cannot disable mouse "reverse scroll direction"

Hello!
I just upgraded Fedora from 37 to 38.  With that upgrade I went from XFCE 4.16 to 4.18. 

Prior to upgrading, the mouse scroll direction was the "normal" version.  If I wanted to roll up a window, I would scroll up, and if I wanted to roll the window back down again, I would scroll down. 

However, since the upgrade, that behavior is inverted, and the Mouse/Touchpad setting "Reverse scroll direction" option is always checked.  Even if I uncheck it, when I return to the setting window again, it remains checked.

Any suggestions how to fix this behavior?

thanks!

Double check your settings. With all my laptops, in the settings I have two devices. A mouse and the touchpad. I don't have a mouse attached. This should be in a drop down menu near the top.

I don't have two devices, just the 1, and its where "Reverse Scroll direction" cannot be disabled.

Any other suggestions?
