Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) wrote : Apple Magic Trackpad input freezes on 3 or 4 finger touch

Using an Apple Magic Trackpad in Unity...

Touch 3 fingers: After a second or two (?!) the grab handles appear but the trackpad goes dead. Only my mouse continues to work. The trackpad comes back to life a while after the grab handles vanish, and I've moved the pointer with the mouse.

Touch 4 fingers: Trackpad goes dead again. Takes a while before it starts responding again. This also triggers bug 859069.

I can reproduce the above bugs in Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 beta 2 (live).
