Description Michal Čihař 2009-10-20 07:02:31 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.

Hmm, interesting.
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.
