It'd be really nice to see an option to disable this annoying feature in
one of the upcoming releases of Ubuntu.

Same grievance here. Whenever the pointer is accidentally over the
taskbar and I only slightly touch the scroll area of my touchpad, I'm
instantly desoriented for a few seconds. On a touchpad, this feature is
unusable (at least, obviously to a lot of people) and it should be
possible to disable it.
Yep, i agree too.

it's almost guaranteed to face this problem every time you use touchpad.

I will bump this. I also think that it is not even convenient when we
use the "normal" mouse wheel. To look on every desktop a window free

Yes this is an extremely annoying "feature". Whenever my pointer is

The best solution so far is to use xfce4-panel which doesn't support
scrolling at all and looks like default gnome taskbar.
1) install xfce4-panel (thing can be installed apart from whole xfce)
2) right click on your taskbar, "Delete panel".
3) alt-F2 (will show "run command"), type "xfce4-panel"
I landed here when I was googling for a way to turn off the mousewheel

you can disable the vertical (or horizontal) scroll via
System->Preferences->Mouse->Touchpad->Check off the "Enable scrolling" box.

Fully agreed. This is extremely annoying on my laptop. An option to

I totally agree - scrolling desktops should be turned off when using
touchpad. This is a daily annoyance. But the current workaround, turning
scrolling off altogether, would be worse.

another desktop that has some window open, and
I have this exact problem using KDE. I have read the KDE developer's

This happens to me a lot too.
And it's more of a problem on desktop than in other places because a small,

generally scroll just a little.

At least for me, the panel ends up being more of an issue than other places we
use scrolling for non-text (like in tabs). The panel is a natural "resting"
place for one's mouse. Also, I've found that I often use the lower-right-hand
corner of the trackpad as a starting place to scroll.

Isn't the right fix to fix scrolling on laptops, then?
I mean, there are a lots of places where you'll get similar issues. We
shouldn't disable scrolling everywhere except for texts just because of this.

Thanks for your bug report. I don't quite understand - do you mean the trackpad
equivalent of scrolling the mouse wheel over the workspace switcher applet? Or
