I confirm this extraordinarily irritating bug. This occurs on laptops that have a separate vertical scroll pad to the right of the touch pad. The pad works with an x coordinate around 8100 whereas the rightmost edge of the touchpad itself occurs around a y value of 6000 on most Gateway laptops.
I suspect this may be related to an upstream issue: the synaptics SpecialScrollAreaRight option was removed for some reason from the xorg synaptics driver. -- Cursor jumps 10cm's left and right in area close to vertical scrollbar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508623 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
