Pierre-Antoine Champin, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per https://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content/cnt- dwnl/SVP1321R4E/list#os3 an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (R1044V7). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-r1044v7 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1338243 Title: spurious zooming when scrolling with touchpad Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: How to reproduce the bug * open a long PDF in evince, or a long webpage in Firefox (this page should do) * sroll with touchpad (two-fingers on my system) * when you take of your fingers from the touchpad, the document keeps on scrolling, slowing down (like inertia) * before it has completely stopped, press CTRL (pretend you want to do CTRL+F, for example) * the document zooms (in or out, depending on the direction of the scroll and your configuation) I think I understand what happens here: in order to provide the "inertia" in the scrolling, the touch pas emits "scroll" events even after I stoped moving my finders, and as soon as I press CTRL, *those* events are interpreted as zoom events. But this is very annoying. I would expect that those "extra" events inherit modifiers from the "original" events, no matter what happens on the keyboard. Also, it happened to me quite a lot recently (14.04 upgrade?), so I suspect this might be due to a recent change.
