I believe this is due to touch records not ending properly when touches are accepted before they physically end. Since all touches on a touchpad must go to the same window set, once you send multitouch events to one set of windows you cannot send multitouch events to any other windows anymore because the first touches are still logically active in the server.
A second fix for this issue is that the server should only be looking at physically active touches, not logically active but physically ended touches, when determining the window set to send touches to. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-12.04-beta-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/929408 Title: X does not send multitouch touch end events properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/929408/+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
