IIRC it used to be that when selecting, a release of pressure on the touchpad stopped the selection - so the addition of a positive action to stop selecting is, at least to me, a benefit. However it is the unwanted selection of text that is a problem. Before this patch, a double tap and movement was required to begin selecting text - now it seems a single tap triggers selection. Programming in Geany using the touchpad to move around code is very trying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934770 Title: Trackpad behavior change causes tap-and-drag to lock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/934770/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
