[Bug 487749] [NEW] trackpad-doublefinger-scroll

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Scrolling using the right and lower edge of the trackpad makes the area
of the trackpad actually usable to move the mouse very small. Add to
this that when you're trying to move a window as in bug #39328 if you
press to low on the trackpad it makes you scroll between windows. The
same problem occurs in KDE if you select a window in the KDE-bar and
then move your mouse up to the program, but hit the the lower parts of
the trackpad.

Replacing the edge scrolling way of scrolling with the two finger scroll
will solve both these bugs and is very commonly used with modern
devices, such as mobile phones, thus comes very natural to a new user.
This function/way of scrolling is already implemented and should be
enabled by default.
