Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I've a Lenovo T61 with a Synaptics touchpad with the following options
in my xorg.conf:

        Option          "HorizEdgeScroll"       "0"
        Option          "VertTwoFingerScroll"   "true"

If I try to use two-finger scrolling, very often I get spurious scroll
down events immediately after I lift my fingers off the touchpad.  This
makes two-finger scrolling feature absolutely unusable :(

This is on Hardy with xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
0.14.7~git20070706-1ubuntu4

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable VertTwoFingerScroll
2. Start xev
3. Move the mouse into the xev window
4. Place two fingers on the touchpad, move them forward a bit and immediately 
lift them, without pausing.

Expected results:

* you see a few button 4 press & release events in the xev log

Actual results:

* you see a few button 4 press & release events, and following those
about 120 button 5 press & release events.

(This might be related to bug 228311, although it refers to right-edge
scrolling, which never caused big problems for me.  I'd get a couple of
scroll events in the wrong direction after lifting my finger, but I
always thought it was my finger shifting position while I was lifting it
up.)
