[Bug 1498321] Re: Touchpad use and multitouch gestures very inconvinient

 

Hallo
This is a bug tracker and we can work on only an issue at time so please report only one inconvenient at time.
The issues you are reporting seems related to lower levels like linux or xorg, so i suggest:
open a terminal and run
ubuntu-bug linux
then describe only one issue at time.
I close this ticket as invalid.
Best regards

Title:
  Touchpad use and multitouch gestures very inconvinient

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The use of the touchpad is a horrible user experience on unity. A few
  examples:

  - Two finger scrolling is too sensitive. (there is no setting to change the sensitivity of the touchpad).
  - Two finger scrolling all the time activates the window switcher (probably because a minor disturbance actually counts as "3 finger tap followed by 3-fingers hold ") instead of just scrolling.
  - Two finger scrolling often highlights the content.
  - "4 finger swipe left/right to reveal launcher" is actually useful. 
  - "4 finger tap to open dash" often activates right-click and moves cursor before dash appears. 
  - I tried to learn the 3 finger variations a couple of time, but the never stick. Too complicated, not intuitive at all and they also often collide with each other.

  My suggestion, add a touchpad sensitivity setting and revise the
  multitouch options.
