a simple fix is to uninstall kde-touchpad and download a more recent version from https://code.launchpad.net/~kubuntu- ppa/+archive/ubuntu/experimental although i've been trying to find direct link to .deb file but w/o luck.
you don't need to add this PPA just install updated package if you can find it. launchpad has horrible ui/ux, i was lucky to find it the first time. example: you can see updated touchpad version on this ppa packages list but you can't click it and get more info/download. i really appreciate hard work required by developers to produce ubuntu/kubuntu even dough they use tools like launchpad in their daily workflow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1338973 Title: scrolling unusable, touchpad too sensitive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kcm-touchpad/+bug/1338973/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
