yep, that's intended. the bottom 10mm are reserved for the buttons (left vs
right) and we discard movement when a finger is set down inside that button
area. The reason is quite simple: when you press the touchpad to click, your
finger shape changes and you'd get a movement before the button press which
could cause you to miss the target. see this link for some details:

when you move into the area from the top then we don't discard the motion.
the only way around this is changing over to clickfinger behaviour.</pre>
