I've done some hacky input stream filter fix, but it's not working in ALL applications. (dunno why...don't really care...) I STILL feel uncomfortable using my thinkpad scrollpad in geany under linux, as it jumps and the scrolling isn't clearly indicating (through some animations i gather?) scrolling direction when I drag 2 fingers up and down... Multi-touch, great! ...I just feel like basic behavior still appears to be an anti-intuitive, if admittedly equally logically viable (swiping the paper up or down vs swiping the scrollbar, metaphorically speaking)

Could be wayland/xwayland if you're using that. My first thought.
