Public bug reported:
An installation of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Macbook Air does not seem to be
able to click and drag things properly. If I want to move a window I
have to click down on the trackpad and with the same finger drag the
window around without keeping my finger pressed down on the button. This
is an unnatural way to use the trackpad and is completely different to
Mac OS X and makes its use very difficult. The correct means of doing
this is to have one finger pressed down on the trackpad for the mouse
click and then use another finger to drag the window (or what ever)
around the screen. The problem is that I have two finger scrolling
turned on, so as soon as I put a second finger down the the trackpad it
thinks that I want to scroll. What it should be checking is that if the
mouse button is pressed and there are 2 fingers on the trackpad then
only one finger should be registered for movement and not apply the two
finger scrolling (if you see what I mean :) ). I will explain further if
needed but really it needs someone with an Apple trackpad to be able to
relate to what I'm saying.
