[Launchpad Bug Tracker <735122@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I recently installed Maverick fresh on my Samsung Q35 laptop. Since
then, the trackpad has been unreliable. When dragging and dropping (ie
keeping the left mouse button down while moving a finger across the
trackpad), if I run out of trackpad I lift and move my finger while
continuing to hold the mouse button down and then continue moving my
finger across the trackpad (like you do with the mouse when you run out
of desk).

On Maverick, if I lift and restart dragging my finger too quickly (in
some applications anyway), the trackpad seems to interpret that as
having 'dropped' whatever it is I'm dragging and dropping. Leading to
fun trying to track down emails that have ended up in the wrong
folder... It seems to affect some applications better or worse than
others. Sometimes if I'm slow at lifting then replacing my finger, it's
fine (it realises I'm still in the same drag-drop process) but sometimes
it's really tricky to do that. It's also unnatural.
