Public bug reported: I have my touchpad configured with tap-to-click off. Frequently when using my thumb to press down on the pad to make the click, and then I touch my index finger to to the touchpad intending to drag (for example when resizing a window or extending the selected range of text) the mouse will jump to an absolute position on the screen (moving the selected text or window egde with it) rather and simply extending the selection or window size.
This behavior happens about 50% of the time. I have not been able to find a solution to it or anything to help distinguish what the difference is between when it does happen and when it doesn't. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/996083 Title: Click-drag on touchpad fails intermittently on 12.04, MacBook Pro 6,2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/996083/+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
