Thanks! this looks much like http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21001 which I hadn't found the reason for yet. And you're right, 0f2802726f looks very broken, albeit in a different manner. The point of this was to auto-adjust the right edge setting to accommodate for the special scroll area. in doing so, it doesn't honour the actual edge margin though, leading to the scroll area becoming zero-sized (or otherwise very small). Pending the device data requested in 21001, that should be fixable.
