mouse edge-scroll cannot be enabled again

[Andre Inglis]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

i disabled mouse "edge-scrolling" in System->Preferences->Mouse->TouchPad. i saw that edge-scrolling was disabled (and my touchpad was without the up/down scrolling ability as i expected)...

however,

when i selected to enable "edge-scroll' again (i expected to bring back my edge-scrolling ability), the mouse did not 'edge-scroll' with my touchpad. instead, there was no difference when turning it back on; the same as if it was kept off. the mouse edge-scrolling worked perfect before i changed that setting. This happened on both netbooks i have.

I noticed this when i first upgraded to 10.10 alpha 3 from 10.04.1. Currently i am upgraded to 10.10 beta 1.

Ubuntu 10.10, beta 1

Netbook - Samsung NP-N150 (10.1" - Long battery life model)
Processor: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450
Memory: 1GB DDR2, 150 Gig HD

Keep up the awesome work! :)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
