Okay, I thought this was related to Gtk's kinetic scrolling support, but it looks like it's still handled by Synaptics, from what I can observe with xev.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to System Setting / Mouse and Touchpad 2. Click on the Touchpad tab 3. Set scrolling to Two Finger Scrolling 4. Close the settings 5. Open a document that requires scrolling (e.g. long web page in Firefox, long text file in Gedit, etc) 6. Scroll through the document using two fingers on the touchpad Expected behaviour When scrolling, the page should keep scrolling up or down when the fingers are taken off the touchpad and stop on its own. Actual behaviour Scrolling stops dead as soon as fingers are taken off the touchpad, making it quite cumbersome to scroll through long documents. Alternative expected behaviour Have an option to enable kinetic scrolling in the touchpad settings.
