Summary
Fix
hscroll()function on Windows by usingMOUSEEVENTF_HWHEELinstead ofMOUSEEVENTF_WHEEL.The previous implementation of
_hscroll()in_pyautogui_win.pysimply called_scroll(), which usesMOUSEEVENTF_WHEEL(vertical scroll event). This caused horizontal scrolling to behave exactly like vertical scrolling.Now
_hscroll()properly usesMOUSEEVENTF_HWHEEL(0x01000) to send horizontal scroll events as documented in the Windows API.Changes
