Edge-Scrolling activation gets lost (T8418)

Every time I open Settings/Devices/Mouse & Touchpad, the setting "Edge Scrolling" is OFF. I can activate it and then it works fine until re-opening the settings dialog. Then it falls back to OFF. Laptop FJSC Esprimo Mobile U9210, Solus 4.0/4.2 64bit with Budgie

Could you run the following commands so we can try to figure out what touchpad you have? Then I can more easily check if there are any filed kernel or libinput bugs against it: 1. `cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep 'Touchpad'` 2. `dmesg | grep -e "Touchpad" -e "Mouse"` Thanks!

Hi Josh Thanks for your response. Writing this, my laptop is in its docking station, where the setup might look a little bit weird (one Logitech Mouse connected directly, another via a PS2-KVM switch), but I think it shouldn't matter for figuring out that my laptop has a synaptics touchpad: ``` xxxx#solus ~ $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep 'Touchpad' xxxx#solus ~ $ dmesg | grep -e "Touchpad" -e "Mouse" [ 4.461498] input: CHESEN PS2 to USB Converter Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-6/2-6.4/2-6.4.2/2-6.4.2:1.1/0003:0A81:0205.0002/input/input6 [ 4.513738] hid-generic 0003:0A81:0205.0002: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [CHESEN PS2 to USB Converter] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-6.4.2/input1 [ 6.741834] psmouse serio4: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 7.0, id: 0x1c0b1, caps: 0xd04791/0xb02000/0x20000/0x0, board id: 0, fw id: 510125 [ 40.181839] usb 2-6.2: Product: USB Laser Mouse [ 40.189710] input: Logitech USB Laser Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-6/2-6.2/2-6.2:1.0/0003:046D:C069.0004/input/input26 [ 40.189885] hid-generic 0003:046D:C069.0004: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB Laser Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-6.2/input0 ``` Currently, the edge scrolling feature is stable working even after restart, but still falls back to OFF when opening the settings dialog page containing its configuration.

This bug ist still open and present: Once I open the settings dialog, the "edge scrolling" switch falls back to OFF. Switching to ON enables the feature instantly and effectively until opening the settings dialog again. That's annoying...

Sorry #Josh: "Needs more info" - which info is needed? Regards Frank

#roebotron is this still an issue? It has been a long time since there was an update to this task, and there have been many updates since this issue was opened.

[roebotron]

I just did a check: This issue still persists.

I wonder... If you open budgie-control-center in the terminal, go to the panel, and turn the option on, does any error appear in the terminal?

No, no output at all. It's a pretty simple effect: Turn option on, change to another panel, come back and it's turned off. Like a hard initialization or an error in reading the current (last written) state.
