GNOME has a toggle for it) > Neither of these issues were present before I installed this package. And > even if I use my little finger (so it can't possibly think it's my palm) [..] you're vastly overestimating the capabilities on your touchpad, sorry. it can't even track two fingers properly (it's of the semi-mt class) and pressure information is notoriously unreliable - that's why we don't use it for palm detection. anyway, afaict the problem here is that edge scrolling isn't enabled.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
