Public bug reported:
High precision touchpad scrolling doesn't work in Wayland sessions (but
does in Xorg).
I guess it's probably Xwayland failing to support the more advanced
XInput stuff?
Note: This bug report is about high precision (and thus low latency)
touchpad scrolling. It is not about "Smooth Scrolling" simply because
"Smooth Scrolling" actually means something quite different in Chromium.
:P
Test case:
1. In chrome://flags, set Smooth Scrolling to Disabled and restart the browser.
2. Use your touchpad (usually two fingers) to scroll a web page.
Observed:
In an Ubuntu session (pure Xorg), the scrolling is noticeably high
precision like a Macbook or Chromebook. In a Wayland session however,
the scrolling stutters badly like it's still using old-style mouse wheel
emulation.
Note also: If you have "Smooth Scrolling" enabled then Chromium replaces
the stutter with smoother scrolling but you can still tell it's broken
in Wayland sessions because the latency is much higher. It's having to
fake the smoothness based on mouse wheel-style coarseness.
