Comment 6 for bug 1001429

The original plan was to release 0.6.0 with touch support (including a fix for this issue) shortly after 0.5.6. But it turns out that touch support in the X server isn't as mature as one would hope, and I'm currently working on identifying what the issues are. So it'll probably be a while before I can enable touch support (it will most likely have to wait until the next X server release). If you're feeling adventurous, you can check out the current state of affairs on the 'next' branch in git.

Now the purpuse of the switch to raw events for 'scroll' was so that relative devices wouldn't hit the screen edge. There is obviously no way of avoiding that for touch screens, so going back to regular grabs for absolute devices will fix the issue for now. I've applied a patch to the easystroke-0.5 branch, and this will be part of the next point release.
