Public bug reported:
In OSX, the multi-touch trackpad (e.g. on Macbooks) can be used to
scroll by holding down the trackpad button with, say, the thumb and
scrolling with another finger. This works in Ubuntu, but minor
variations in the positioning of the thumb affect the delta of the
scroll. In OSX, once this action is engaged the motion of the stable
touch (the thumb) is mostly ignored. This has the effect of making
scrolling much more accurate and smooth because the motion is entirely
dependent on the moving finger. In Ubuntu, scrolling like this is
generally wonky if the thumb moves at all on the trackpad.
