settings.ini not being used

shift-left-click or middle-button-click instead of just left click.

I've found that the reason my configuration change in settings.ini was not
working, was because I used an incorrect character (semi-colon) to mark the
first line as a comment instead of #.
When I changed C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0\settings.ini to:
# Use Windows style scrollbars
[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=false
it works fine.
In Linux, this file is usually
/home/{UserName}/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini.
In Mac, it should be /Users/{UserName}/Library/Application
Support/GnuCash/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
