Public bug reported:

After installing Ubuntu 10.10 on a Mac Book Pro 7,1, I installed
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from ppa:mactel-support.

This driver doesn't allow continuous dragging. Continuous dragging is
when you hold down the mouse button and with the other finger continue
to drag. This doesn't work in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from the PPA
(1.2.2-2ubuntu5-mactel1) resulting in limiting the amount of dragging a
user can do. Users will need to drag with 1 finger with more
acceleration to get a similar result.

In comparison, OS X does this properly.
