Mouse button + scroll has the same behavior as scroll + mouse button

Hello everyone. I wasn't sure where to post this, so I decided to post here.

As an unexpected behavior, one thing I finally found out the reasoning behind is that if you have a mouse button plus scroll modifier as a shortcut, the action will be performed if you press the button down and then scroll. The action also gets triggered if you scroll and then press the mouse button.

The main reason this is an issue is because sometimes I scroll with the trackpad, like scrolling behavior, and because of momentum the scrolling continues; but then when I try to go back by pressing the back button, this shortcut gets triggered.

Is this an unexpected behavior for anyone else?

This issue potentially might be fixed by having some sort of "directionality" with the shortcuts. Currently, I believe Better Touch Tool doesn't care whether you press Button 3 and then scroll up versus if you scroll up then press Button 3. I'm guessing this is the issue. If so, then I think it would be a really cool feature to add directionality in simply because of the fact that it literally doubles the number of mouse shortcuts you can perform! Imagine that!

In the past, I had similar unintended triggers of such Combos (Scroll + Button) and solved this by activating Ratchet Mode with the first trigger and IF Ratchet Mode is activated executing the wanted trigger. This solved the topic for me...

If helps you, I can share the preset later ( currently not on my Mac). Just let me know!?

Amazing! This does solve it. Thank you so much, Andreas!

Thanks for your help. You replied very early, so I wasn't able to get to it, but Andreas pushed out a fix for this. At least on my end, it's no longer happening, which I'm very happy about. Thanks for your help as well, Volker.
