(Keywords: helpwanted)

Using the windows driver for the Synaptics PS/2 trackpad, one can drag the right hand side of the pad to scroll vertically and along the bottom to scroll horizontally (so-called virtual scrolling). This doesn't work in M14 for the main browser window with GFX scrollbars enabled but it does with them disabled. However in this configuration the v-scrolling still doesn't work for scrollbars within the main browser window (e.g. forms) - if you try it it scrolls the main window, not the scrollbar for the form (as is the behaviour under NS 4.7).
Not a UI design issue. Any engineers want to take on supporting this particular piece of hardware?

Can you re-test this on a more recent release? I think some compatibility changes went in after M14.

Sorry for postingto this bug, but 20618 seems to be mostly concerned with logitech. anyway, i was browsing the synaptics webpage and noticed that they provide a c++ api for their touchpads which might shed some light on this bug. you can find it at http://www.synaptics.com/decaf/utilities/api.pdf i just browsed it very quickly, but i think it'll translate the synaptics stuff into windows messages.
