[Bug 1504742] Re: touch screen scroll

 

Jaime Pérez, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

The behavior you mentioned is confirmed. For example, with a Windows 8.1
tablet, a one finger touch+hold+move gesture at any point in the window
scrolls the screen around. But, with Ubuntu, the only way to scroll the
screen is touch+hold+move where the scrollbar is.

Hence, this would appear not a bug in Ubuntu, in that it was already
designed to do what you expected, and it doesn't. What it appears to be
instead is a "feature parity expectation" issue with the driver, that
would be known about, and actively worked on upstream.

However, could you please post the results of the following terminal command:
usb-devices
