Public bug reported: When I start Ubuntu, the touchpad scrolling (using two fingers) works great, but after some time (usually hours) the scrolling becomes very glitchy. The scrolling starts to feel very unresponsive and I have to do the scrolling motion two to three times to scroll the normal amount on a page or document. It feels like only small parts of the actual finger motion converts to scrolling and the rest is cut off. Sometimes (rarely) the scrolling just dies completely. Booting fixes this issue, but often the issue is back very quickly after boot. Unfortunately I have no steps on how to replicate this issue.
This is a new-ish problem that started happening after an update sometime a few months ago and did not appear in the first 18.04 release versions.
