Public bug reported:
After installing the Eoan Beta on a Dell Latitude E6400 attempting to
set touchpad Edge Scrolling was unsuccessful. It actually seemed to work
as long as the System Settings window was left open but as soon as the
window is closed the Edge Scrolling setting reverts to off.
I did however find that simply installing the package 'xserver-xorg-
input-synaptics' solves the problem. In fact it adds the additional
setting option of Two Finger Scrolling to the control center UI. I'm not
sure if that package should be installed by default or not?
Steps to reproduce are simple:
(1) Install Ubuntu Eoan on a laptop (could possibly work with a keyboard with
an incorporated touchpad).
(2) Open Gnome Control Center (System Settings) and go to Devices > Mouse &
Touchpad.
(3) Select Edge Scrolling and you'll notice the "button" turn green. Close
System Settings.
(4) Reopen System Settings and you'll see Edge Scrolling has turned off again.
(5) Install 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' and then reboot.
(6) Repeat the above steps and you'll find that setting Edge Scrolling is
successful even after closing System Settings. Additionally you'll find that a
new Two Finger Scrolling option has been added to the UI.
