Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

When the said options are enabled together, it makes both pretty useless. It's too easy for input to be interpreted as some sort of scroll then paste action, which is very irritating. It would be nice if when tapping that the driver does not allow scrolling rather than forcing the user to be ridiculously careful not to move the relative positions of his fingers while tapping.
