scrolling broken
I have a rather bizarre problem.
Upgrade went well, but I thought my touchpad seemed a little more sensitive than usual afterwards (might just be my imagination; in any case I wanted to tweak the settings a bit). So I went into system settings > input devices > touchpad.
There seem to be some new options, like the 'testing area'. I increased noise cancellation, turned on horizontal scrolling which I'd disabled previously, turned tap-to-click on and off a few times, turned off coasting and turned on circular scrolling. I was just experimenting - at one point I tried increasing 'pressure for detecting a touch' A LOT and ended up having to use the entire palm of my hand to move the cursor to undo that setting!
Last but not least, I fiddled with the scrolling distance. I'm still confused by how it works, but my intention was to slow down scrolling speed, which I haven't managed to do. I've now put it back to the default (maximum) value.
After fiddling with the settings for the first time I discovered that 2-finger scrolling in Pidgin was behaving strangely; I had to click on a few different parts of the window before it would work. I'm not sure how long it was before I discovered ALL my applications were behaving like this. I can't see any pattern to it, but generally if I try to use 2-finger scrolling I can't straight away, and have to click randomly all over the place before it becomes enabled. I never had this problem before.
I tried setting all the touchpad parameters back to their defaults (or as close to their defaults as I could remember), without any success. Seems like I've permanently broken scrolling
