Description Ignacio Casal Quinteiro (nacho) 2011-02-16 15:28:06 UTC 
For some reason when I set the option to be able to click with the touchpad the acceleration of the touchpad changed also. After it I tried to change the acceleration and nothing happened when moving the setting bar. This happens with the version of f15 btw.

From Fedora 15 Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684374):

Description of problem:
Two-Finger-Scroll-Settings are reseted each time I start the mouse/touchpad
properties from within the control-center. When I set them to "activate two
finger scroll" and close the control-center, two-finger-scroll works fine. But
next time I look into the touchpad properties, this setting will be reseted and
if I don't change it back, two-finger-scroll won't work any more.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.91.91-1.fc15.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to control-center->mouse-properties->touchpad
2. change scrolling mode to "two finger scroll" and close the window
3. again go to control-center->mouse-properties->touchpad

Actual results: The two-finger-scroll settings are reseted.


Expected results: The settings are saved and don't change randomly.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2011-03-18 18:55:33 UTC 
The acceleration and sensitivity are bogus, there's no support in gnome-settings-daemon to set separate values for mice and touchpads.

As for the scrolling method resetting, it should now be fixed.

    mouse: Don't reset scrolling method on start
    
    Or tap-to-click for that matter, if the device present does
    not support it.
