Comment 0 for bug 781143

For awhile now (including in Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04), I've experienced an issue with scroll events initiated on my Touchpad. Steps to reproduce are: 1) Open Firefox 2) Start a vertical scroll event on Touchpad (two-finger scroll, in my case) 3) Remove fingers from Touchpad 4) Quickly hit ctrl

The results are that Firefox will start zooming in or zooming out the page. I also experience this if I start a scroll event and quickly switch to a different workspace -- where my Terminal will start scrolling up or down. I would expect that the scroll event would die when I remove my fingers from the Touchpad, and probably when a meta key gets hit, too.

I'm on a Thinkpad W510 on Ubuntu 11.04 using Unity. Here's all the info I can find on my Touchpad:
[ 10.808053] Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 7.2, id: 0x1c0b1, caps: 0xd047b3/0xb40000/0xa0000
[ 10.863551] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7

I do have the synaptics-dkms package installed (version 1.1.0)
