Public bug reported:

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.
