Update: there is a quick hack to get this working in post 182. Thank you kai.

Feature request: in comic mode with shading enabled there is no point in shading when you scroll backwards: you're not reading bottom up and you know for sure you have to start reading from the top of the page after scrolling. There is all the difference when you scroll forward: you usually have read a part of the page and you need to continue at some point you can't easily discern immediately after scrolling. Otoh the typical use case for scrolling back is to go to a previous page to start reading something there. And the shading makes this reading impossible. I think there are good reasons to disable shading for backwards scrolling or at least to make this configurable.
