[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 876447] Re: Two-finger scrolling scrolls horizontally and vertically simultaneously
People rarely move their fingers perfectly vretical or horizontal, not to mention the hand is already aligned diagonally touching the lower edge of the notebook. Both Microsoft and Apple already thought of that. Accidental diagonal two-finger scrolling should be restricted the same way it is in Windows and OSX. It detects the main direction of your movement: e.g. 70% vertical and 30% horizontal and ignores that 30%. The system should not completely disable diagonal scrolling, but allow the user setting that threshold: 30% or something else. Mac also ignores two finger movement (in one direction) if the fingers are too apart - should be configured as well. And (very annoying Linux "feature") both OSX and Windows ignore the second finger (e.g. in the corner of the trackpad) if it is not moving. It is very natural to rest your left index finger there ready to press/tap while moving the right one to position the cursor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876447 Title: Two-finger scrolling scrolls horizontally and vertically simultaneously To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/876447/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This is a good thing. What is not a good thing is scrolling horizontally while I'm in the middle of scrolling vertically, or scrolling vertically while I'm in the middle of scrolling vertically. That is invariably a mistake, and causes annoying wobbling. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/82846315/out.ogv This could easily be fixed by ignoring any horizontal movement during a two-finger swipe if started out vertical, and ignoring any vertical movement during a two-finger swipe if it started out horizontal.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 876447] Re: Two-finger scrolling scrolls horizontally and vertically simultaneously
I think it would be nice allowing scrolling down and then right without raising the fingers, and only preventing when scrolling diagonally or when the sideway move is much shorter than the original scroll (aka, a wobble). But if it is too hard to implement, simply disallowing a scroll in another direction like you suggest would be a good start. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876447 Title: Two-finger scrolling scrolls horizontally and vertically simultaneously To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/876447/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
