Thank you. It is interesting that there are two jumps in the end which
may indicate that it is a highly accelerated right movement rather than
a move-all-the-way-to-the-right command.

I think we have more or less what we need to send this issue upstream. I
read up a little yesterday and came over the program synclient, which
should dump the state of the touchpad every X milliseconds. I don't have
touchpad, so I can't try it, but you may see if you can get some useful
output of that. See `man synclient` for how to use it. What I'm
wondering about is whether a touch in the scroll area changes something
in the hardware state or whether it is simply the driver that chooses to
interpret touch in this area in a special way. This is may be obvious to
someone who know more about touchpads and the synaptics driver than me.

If you can get anything useful from synclient, that would be nice. We
should forward this upstream soon in any case.
