You have been subscribed to a public bug: I recently installed Maverick fresh on my Samsung Q35 laptop. Since then, the trackpad has been unreliable. When dragging and dropping (ie keeping the left mouse button down while moving a finger across the trackpad), if I run out of trackpad I lift and move my finger while continuing to hold the mouse button down and then continue moving my finger across the trackpad (like you do with the mouse when you run out of desk).
On Maverick, if I lift and restart dragging my finger too quickly (in some applications anyway), the trackpad seems to interpret that as having 'dropped' whatever it is I'm dragging and dropping. Leading to fun trying to track down emails that have ended up in the wrong folder... It seems to affect some applications better or worse than others. Sometimes if I'm slow at lifting then replacing my finger, it's fine (it realises I'm still in the same drag-drop process) but sometimes it's really tricky to do that. It's also unnatural. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Samsung Q35 trackpad unreliable in Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/735122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
