[Bug 848833] [NEW] Multitouch support in evince is half-baked

 

Public bug reported:

I am using an Apple Magic Trackpad with my Ubuntu system (Oneiric Beta
1). Evince seems to recognise some gestures, but even basic
functionality is not working properly.

* Scrolling with a two-finger gesture works, but there is a lag each
time before scrolling actually starts, i.e. one starts the gesture, and
only half a second or a second later the scrolling starts on the screen.
This happens with both my internal touchpad, as well as the external
Apple bluetooth trackpad.

* Rotating works, however the zoom level changes in an unpredictable
way. In fact, after repeated rotating, my document is as small as a
stamp!

* Zooming gestures are recognised, but the screen is not redrawn. Only
after clicking and scrolling in the UI, the document is shown at the new
size.
