When "Two-finger scrolling" and "Enable horizontal scrolling" are checked in the Touchpad settings, pushing two fingers up and down scrolls vertically, and pushing two fingers left and right scrolls horizontally. This is a good thing.

What is not a good thing is scrolling horizontally while I'm in the middle of scrolling vertically, or scrolling vertically while I'm in the middle of scrolling vertically. That is invariably a mistake, and causes annoying wobbling. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/82846315/out.ogv

This could easily be fixed by ignoring any horizontal movement during a two-finger swipe if started out vertical, and ignoring any vertical movement during a two-finger swipe if it started out horizontal.
