One-finger cursor move does not work if started from left or right side of touchpad #24

Configuration of xSwipe seems does not control this behavior. Side-scrolling is disabled in xorg.conf (and AFAIK, it affects only the right side). The width of "dead" start areas is quite large (about 1/5 of whole touchpad width). Additionally I noticed dragging is sometimes self-activated for unknown reason when started move, not double-tapped drag. I use plain X.Org (i.e. no DEs' settings-daemons) on Debian 9.

I have the same issue on Mint 17 Mate.

I have a DELL XPS 13 and the same issue, I thought my touchpad don't work well (I didn't try this without xSwipe). This issue is on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04 as far I tried it.

It is by design to avoid unnatural movement of pointer. Pointer also moves each time two fingers edge swipe if it allows to move pointer.

So maybe disable this behavior if no one edge-swipe rule is set?

iberianpig commented 9 years ago

No, the behavior of pointer is not affected by config of 1 finger swipe.

I'll also note that this is a very undesirable behaviour on my machine (dell latitude e7240). The left and right "edges" are approximately 30% (each) of my touchpad, so in order to move the pointer around, I can only use the very middle of my touchpad. Is there any way to disable this "feature"?
