Horizontal scrolling is broken
Last modified: 2010-01-14 10:07:38 UTC
Horizontal scrolling is broken in applications that support it when using gpointing-device-settings. In addition, gpointing-device-settings forgets what the speed setting was when it exits and starts again. This problem does not occur with gsynaptics. I did some tests running synclient -l continuously while gpointing-device-settings is running, with the following results: HorizScrollDelta is only ever increased, it never decreases even when I scroll towards slow. As a result, HorizScrollDelta goes into the thousands. HorizScrollDelta changes when I change the speed of vertical scrolling, but VertScrollDelta does not change. VertScrollDelta and HorizScrollDelta both change when I change the speed of horizontal scrolling. With gsynaptics, both VertScrollDelta and HorizScrollDelta stay within the range 0-255. VertScrollDelta only changes when I scroll the vertical speed bar and HorizScrollDelta only changes when I scroll the vertical speed bar.

GPDS also restricts vertical scrolling distance. See http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gpointing-device-settings/tree/data/touchpad.ui#n35 And I can not confirm this issue.
I found a bonehead mistake. The mistake maybe caused this issue. Fixed. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gpointing-device-settings/commit/?id=6c1837a48125275a5ee5a974fa73b36777b616d1
