Touchpad sensitivity setting does not affect second finger (MacBook Air 2012)

[Daniel Nyström]

Setting "Synaptic Finger" sensitivity using "xinput set-prop" [1] works very well for single touch, but the second finger is still very sensitive and will cause Ubuntu to start scrolling even when second finger is hovering a few millimeters. No matter which level is set, the second finger is not affected at all.

Daniel Nyström, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

This is still in 14.04 an issue. Very annoying when coming from the almost perfect OS X.
