Public bug reported: The use of the touchpad is a horrible user experience on unity. A few examples:
- Two finger scrolling is too sensitive. (there is no setting to change the sensitivity of the touchpad). - Two finger scrolling all the time activates the window switcher (probably because a minor disturbance actually counts as "3 finger tap followed by 3-fingers hold ") instead of just scrolling. - Two finger scrolling often highlights the content. - "4 finger swipe left/right to reveal launcher" is actually useful. - "4 finger tap to open dash" often activates right-click and moves cursor before dash appears. - I tried to learn the 3 finger variations a couple of time, but the never stick. Too complicated, not intuitive at all and they also often collide with each other. My suggestion, add a touchpad sensitivity setting and revise the multitouch options. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
