[SOLVED] Left Clicking Scrollbar Behaviour?

Hello All,

Upgraded my system from MX-21.3 to MX-25 and found the setting to force the scrollbar to only jump 1 page when left clicked in the trough no longer works, something to do with being a newer version I guess.

~.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false

Doesn't work, I had it working on my older MX but can't remember what I did years ago to make it so.
I find that now to get the desired behaviour in Firefox it's a right click, in Thunar it's the mouse wheel click, same with Geany, and a couple of other apps apps it seems to vary or not work at all.

Is there a way with Xfce 4.20.1 to make the left click in scrollbar trough only go one page at a time systemwide?

Thanks

Added later 14 h 08 min 57 s:
Got it working,

gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=false

has to go in the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file, not the gtk.css.
