Description Mathieu Bridon 2012-09-21 16:59:39 UTC 
I set « Content sticks to fingers in G-C-C, as it just feels so much more
natural on a touchpad.

However, now I have to scroll **down** to zoom on a window in the overview.

I think this particular action, zomming on a window, should always happen by
scrolling up, no matter whether the « Content sticks to fingers » checkbox is
checked or not.

I disagree with this.

Dragging towards me (down) on the touchpad feels like I'm pulling the window towards me in 3D space. It therefore appears bigger. Similarly, pushing away feels like pushing the window away.

(I'm using a laptop touchpad flat on my lap with the screen upright — a typical laptop setup. I can't comment on experience using a touchscreen.)

We no longer zoom window previews, so this is obsolete.
