[Bug 1424955] [NEW] touchpad acting like a touchscreen in gtk3 applications scrolling while trying to move the cursor

 

Public bug reported:

In Kubuntu vivid, in gtk3 applications, when I try to move the cursor
hover a scrollable area of a gtk3 application (meld, winetricks) with my
touchpad (a clickpad), it scrolls even if I am not clicking. I can click
if I press harder, like everywhere. In this case, the entry in the list
(if the scrollable area is a list) is selected. The feedback looks
exactly like if I were using a touchscreen. I think this should only
happen if I scrolled or drag 'n' dropped a scrollable area hover a non
draggable object.

This behavior doesn't show with gtk2 or Qt applications.

Cheers,
