Thanks! This bug was still there in 12.04, now I am on 12.10 and it doesn't hapen anymore. So it could be that it has been fixed in 12.10 and should be back-ported, or be fixed using your patch.

Since the cursor normally moves relative to the movement on the trackpad, it should still be somewhere in the center area of the screen but not at the screen border. This could be connected to the option to continue cursor motion slowly (!=jump) when the finger hits the trackpad border, however I couldn't find this option anymore in the control panel. Examples where this bug appears: moving an icon on the desktop, panning a map in the browser or Google Earth, drawing a freehand line in Inkscape or Gimp ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.5.99.901-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-19.30-generic-pae 3.2.11 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-19-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Mar 23 01:51:36 2012 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: precise DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20120201.1) MachineType: MAXDATA PRO600IW PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-19-generic-pae root=UUID=19eac017-3035-4eaf-a7d4-af518d44a5af ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 08/25/2006 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies LTD dmi.bios.version: Q3B21 dmi.board.name: PRO600IW dmi.board.vendor: MAXDATA dmi.board.version: Not Applicable dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 1 dmi.chassis.vendor: No Enclosure dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologiesLTD:bvrQ3B21:bd08/25/2006:svnMAXDATA:pnPRO600IW:pvr5123660003:rvnMAXDATA:rnPRO600IW:rvrNotApplicable:cvnNoEnclosure:ct1:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: PRO600IW dmi.product.version: 5123660003 dmi.sys.vendor: MAXDATA version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.7.0+bzr3035-0ubuntu1 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.30-1ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 8.0.1-0ubuntu5 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 8.0.1-0ubuntu5 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu6 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.0-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20111201+b5534a1-1build2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/962704/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
