Title:
  Going into mouse settings should not change default motion-
  acceleration and motion-threshold values

Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Currently in dconf, both my motion-acceleration and motion-threshold
  values are -1 (default) and I prefer it this way, but everytime I go
  into the mouse settings in the settings panel, it changes the values
  to 1 and 10 respectively without me changing the pointer speed slider.

  This is incredibly undesirable behavior and leads to confusion for
  users who just view the settings and suddenly have drastically
  different pointer speed/acceleration. IMHO, the default values of -1
  offer the best pointer motion. All other values set by the slider
  cause very weird mouse motion, such as acceleration kicking in at
  weird moments (probably due to the motion-threshold settings).

  Expected behavior:
  1.) Simply VIEWING the mouse settings should not change the default motion-acceleration and motion-threshold values of -1 to something else
  2.) There should be a tick on the slider indicating the position that sets the default values of -1, so that users can return the mouse settings to default if they so choose. Preferably, the slider should snap to that tick. Currently the default values aren't even on the slider!

  Sidenote: The motion-threshold values also need to be calibrated
  better on the slider. It sets motion-threshold values up to 10, which
  is crazy. How can anyone use their mouse properly if they have
  acceleration kick-in after 10 whole pixels of movement?

  The Gnome 3.14 mouse settings do this properly, perhaps merging their
  code into unity-settings could be the solution?
