Re: "Silly nitpick. Every now and then I'm two-finger trackpad..."
@clseibold Yes, it is a recent change in v1.17. It is supposed to only affect actual mouse scrollwheels, but perhaps some trackpads represent themselves as a wheel internally.
I actually have second thoughts about this, and will likely revert it to scrolling horizontally only when Shift is held down. (Like macOS does it.)

I for one would prefer "scrolling horizontally only when Shift is held down".
(Of course, then I'll be complaining about how I can't seem to scroll preformatted blocks horizontally (for having forgotten this thread).... ;-) )
Silly nitpick. Every now and then I'm two-finger trackpad scrolling a post in Lagrange, and need to re-situate my scrolling fingers at a time when the cursor has inadvertently landed in a "preformatted block" that has one or more wide lines, such that continuing to scroll with my re-situated pair of scrolling fingers leads to the preformatted block scrolling horizontally instead of the overall post scrolling vertically. It's hardly the end of the world, and perhaps someone has some advice on...
