I've upgraded to Natty and the problem persists for me too. I'm using Gnome rather than Unity.
I realized that my original description is off--I described it as selecting the center as the starting point, but it actually it starts up with all regions selected EXCEPT the center. This means that a tiny portion of the center of the touchpad can be used for moving the pointer while most of the mousepad initiates circular scrolling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697415 Title: Circular scrolling always resets to middle of touchpad on restart -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
