Public bug reported: I just installed the beta 2 of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Macbook Air and the mouse was a nightmare to use until I changed the options in the system settings of the installer. It defaulted to tap to touch which a Mac user would not be used to, especially as pressing down on the touchpad is a click. It also seemed a bit sensitive. This option should be turned off as it conflicts with the standard usage of clicking. It made dragging windows around and clicking menus a nightmare.
The options to use 2 fingered scrolling (both vertical and horizontal) should be turned on by default as well to give Mac users a familiar interface to operate Ubuntu with. If having this Mac specific build is to give users more Mac friendly options then they should at least be enabled by default to provide a familiar interface for the user. Also note that these options are the default in the installer and on a fresh installation and should be changed in both. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861446 Title: Mac installer for 11.10 has bad trackpad defaults for Macbook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/861446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
