Comment 12 for bug 591656

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

1. When I move my finger from the left to right side and (accidentally) touching the scrolling area (on the right side) on the touchpad, the cursor jumps to the far right of the screen. This only happens when I'm moving my finger into the scrolling area, a single (or double) tap in the scrolling area doesn't do anything.

2. This concerns 'continuous scrolling' (I think it's called). First: in 9.10 I hadn't continuous scrolling activated (by default?), in 10.04 it is. But this isn't the issue. To do a continuous scrolling you do a long stroke up or down, and it continuous to scroll up or down. The problem is that it seems to continue to scroll until a tap/click is made. This often results in a in or out zooming of webpages in chrome, e.g.

First I scroll down a page, then I scroll up. And everything is fine. But when I am about to enter a different web address, using CTRL+L, the page zooms in (CTRL+scroll) continuously.

or

in Compiz desktop zoom: I've just scrolled up a page in Chrome and I'm going use the Scale function (Super+Tab). As soon as I'm pressing the Super button, Compiz zooms in.

Now, 1 and 2 are on one hand two different issues but since they both occurred after I upgraded to 10.04 and that I can't figure out how to change these behaviours, I'm filing them as one bug. Maybe there is a way of fixing this with udev rules or something, but I don't know how to do that.
