Public bug reported: How to reproduce the bug
* open a long PDF in evince, or a long webpage in Firefox (this page should do) * sroll with touchpad (two-fingers on my system) * when you take of your fingers from the touchpad, the document keeps on scrolling, slowing down (like inertia) * before it has completely stopped, press CTRL (pretend you want to do CTRL+F, for example) * the document zooms (in or out, depending on the direction of the scroll and your configuation) I think I understand what happens here: in order to provide the "inertia" in the scrolling, the touch pas emits "scroll" events even after I stoped moving my finders, and as soon as I press CTRL, *those* events are interpreted as zoom events. But this is very annoying. I would expect that those "extra" events inherit modifiers from the "original" events, no matter what happens on the keyboard. Also, it happened to me quite a lot recently (14.04 upgrade?), so I suspect this might be due to a recent change.
