[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1697122] Re: Package Firefox with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 in environment to enable pixel scrolling with touchpad and touch gestures
it's annoying for me too. The problem is that setting the envar just substitutes some problems with different ones: - Without this envar set, there is no touchscreen scrolling, and touchpad scrolling goes three lines at a time rather than pixel-by-pixel - With this envar set and a notification appears, touchpad scrolling is interrupted and mouse wheel scrolling stops working entirely until Firefox is de-focused and re-focused The correct solution is to fix these bugs, not toggle between two broken states. Chromium has different scrolling bugs, BTW. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697122 Title: Package Firefox with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 in environment to enable pixel scrolling with touchpad and touch gestures Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Ubuntu version: Kubuntu 17.04 Firefox version: 53.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.17.04.2 In Firefox, two-finger scroll gestures on a touchpad are interpreted as scroll wheel rotations, and the content scrolls three lines at a time.

If this bug is not going to be fixed soon, I suggest Ubuntu should bundle another browser in the next release.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1697122] Re: Package Firefox with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 in environment to enable pixel scrolling with touchpad and touch gestures
BTW I've since changed my mind on this. Setting the proposed environment variable makes toupad scrolling mysteriously slow down after a notification arrives until you switch focus away from Firefox and back (See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1182700). This problem is particularly severe for mouse scroll wheel users, where wheel scrolling breaks entirely until you switch away and back again. I grudgingly live with the issue when I'm using a touchpad, but I unset the envar when I'm using a mouse because of how bad it is. I think https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1182700 needs to be fixed upstream before this can be considered. Unfortunately, it's blocked on a GTK issue (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/558) that the GTK developers have declared unfixable on X11. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues #558 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/558 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697122 Title: Package Firefox with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 in environment to enable pixel scrolling with touchpad and touch gestures Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu version: Kubuntu 17.04 Firefox version: 53.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.17.04.2 In Firefox, two-finger scroll gestures on a touchpad are interpreted as scroll wheel rotations, and the content scrolls three lines at a time.

It is indeed a common complaint/request as evidenced by the people talking about it in various places (blogs, reddit, etc.): https://www.rojtberg.net/1569/switching-back-from-chrome-to-firefox/ https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/72mfv8/psa_for_firefox_users_set_moz_use_xinput21_to/ https://hackido.com/2019/02/01/2019-02-01-firefox-with-touch/ I paste here again the upstream bug report as the link changed slightly: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207700 Recent comments in it (a year old) are fairly positive: "I think we can enable the XInput2 for recent Gtk+ versions (say Gtk+ >= 3.20) as the related Gtk+ focus bugs was fixed but for XInput2 only. Also Fedora enables XInput2 by default and we don't have any user complains." However there is a list of possible issues that need to be checked before moving on this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1182700 (wheel scrolling issue when window not active) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1390795 (wheel scrolling issue when window not active) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487882 (pdf zoom increments by 10%) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1196777 (probably fixed) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1170342 (fixed) Additionally, we need to check it works adequately when the synaptics driver is enabled (I'm not sure but perhaps it's enabled by default on Macbooks?). Finally, I tried a couple more tweaks in about:config to make the scrolling experience smoother with a touchpad: - disabling smooth scrolling: general.smoothScroll = false OR - enabling msdPhysics scrolling: general.smoothScroll.msdPhysics.enabled = true I'm not yet entirely convinced by either and still have to test it more, especially with a mouse. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1207700 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207700 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1182700 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1182700 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1390795 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1390795 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1487882 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487882 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1196777 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1196777 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1170342 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1170342 ** Bug watch added: bugzilla.opensuse.org/ #1032003 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1032003 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697122 Title: Package Firefox with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 in environment to enable pixel scrolling with touchpad and touch gestures Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu version: Kubuntu 17.04 Firefox version: 53.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.17.04.2 In Firefox, two-finger scroll gestures on a touchpad are interpreted as scroll wheel rotations, and the content scrolls three lines at a time.
