Title:
  spurious zooming when scrolling with touchpad

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  How to reproduce the bug

  * open a long PDF in evince, or a long webpage in Firefox (this page should do)
  * sroll with touchpad (two-fingers on my system)
  * when you take of your fingers from the touchpad, the document keeps on scrolling, slowing down (like inertia)
  * before it has completely stopped, press CTRL (pretend you want to do CTRL+F, for example)
  * the document zooms (in or out, depending on the direction of the scroll and your configuation)

  I think I understand what happens here: in order to provide the
  "inertia" in the scrolling, the touch pas emits "scroll" events even
  after I stoped moving my finders, and as soon as I press CTRL, *those*
  events are interpreted as zoom events. But this is very annoying. I
  would expect that those "extra" events inherit modifiers from the
  "original" events, no matter what happens on the keyboard.

  Also, it happened to me quite a lot recently (14.04 upgrade?), so I
  suspect this might be due to a recent change.
