I am sorry -- I did read the previous posts but overlooked the answer to my question.
Reverting to 0.99.3-2ubuntu4 fixed it, but, as merc mentioned on 2009-05-23, it is probably still broken to a lesser extent. Now I do recall that had I frequent problems landing a pasted selection on a pixel, but I attributed that to my own lack of dexterity. It often worked as I intended, but sometimes I would overshoot by 2-3 pixels and have to go back to find the right position. Now I repeated the test with synclient after rolling back xserver-xorg- input-synaptics, and I can see that my X still misses some events, although now hitting the correct pixel is at least possible, and correct placement of the insertion point in a text buffer and selecting regions in it are completely trouble-free. There is roufgly a 10-fold difference in the number of events missed in 0.99.3-2ubuntu4 and 0.99.3-2ubuntu5. Just a WAG, but could this problem have anything to do with ALPS not being Synaptics? Did anyone notice this with Synaptics? --Gene -- touchpad mouse stutters/stops on slow movement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
