multi-touch screen functions break when using chromium

[Rick Spencer]

Steps:
1. Have a multi-touch monitor
2. run terminal
3. use 3 finger swipe to put it into resize and resposition window, note that it works using multi-touch on the screen
4. run chromium
5. go to http://reddpics.com/r/cats (or similar)
6. click 3 cat pictures with your finger on touch screen
7. use your finger on the screen to click between the open tabs

Result:
After a few clicks the taps stop working

Very likely a dupe of bug #1068994 -- but if lucky it's http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66720

I uploaded the fix for the second bug to ppa:canonical-x/x-staging -- can you test when it finishes building?

I confirmed that a similar bug is affecting me, when using multitouch screen, not only on chrome/chromium but also when using multi touch on ( 3 or 5 fingers) on Dash

This issue has sat with a status of 'Incomplete' for almost nine years without any response so it is being closed as 'Invalid' although the bug may well have been fixed.

Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy) reached end-of-life on July 17, 2014.

Please feel free to re-open this bug report if this is still an issue when using a currently supported release of Ubuntu and tell us in which release you still experience this issue.
