Bug Description

As reported in other bugs, Evince scrolling is working very poorly when using my laptop trackpad (no fancy multi-gesture stuff, just normal two-finger scroll).

As describd in other reports, it is lagging and jumpy, but often, instead of scrolling, it zooms in or out instead which is really annoying.

Test Case:
1) enable two finger scrolling
2) open a pdf file with evince
3) scroll down and/or up several times using the two-finger scrolling
4) observe evince zoom in or out

I opened a new bug exactly because the behavior described in the summary was *not* described in any other bugs.
The "as described" part was the part about jagged, lagging scroll.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
