Problem with two finger scrolling on s440

Hello everyone
I have a S440 (touch version) and some Problems with two finger scrolling on the touchpad.
First, it isn't smooth, i.e.. If I move my fingers it only starts scrolling after a second or so, basically when I've already stopped (unless I move very slow). It then makes up for the lost time by scrolling very fast.
The more serious problem (that makes it practically unusable) is that it randomly jumps back up, often to the top of the page/document, sometimes just a page or so.
The problems are worst with firefox and acrobat, with IE and the Microsoft reader there's no response time problem but the jumping upwards still occurs.
The problem is there with the preinstalled Windows 8 as well as my own Windows 8 Pro (with the original Lenovo drivers). Scrolling with the Trackpoint and an external mouse work fine, as well as scrolling via the touchscreen.
Does anyone have any suggestion if/how I can fix this?

I also have a S440 (non-touch screen), the scrolling on the touchpad worked perfectly when I bought it, no jumping, and scrolling perfectly smoothly comparable to an Mac. But after an upgrade to windows 8.1 which broke many things ( despite upgrading all drivers), I reset my thinkpad which brought it back to windows 8, everything working normally again except the two finger scrolling which is no longer smooth (moves incrementally now), and likes to jump randomly up or down the page, (not always, but enough to make it irritating. I notice this mostly with google chrome and adobe reader as these are the apps I use most frequently.
So my questions is what drivers or settings do I need to bring the scrolling back to the configuration it was when I purchased my S440? My device manager says I'm running thinkpad ultranav with Synaptics driver version 16.6.4.38
Cheers,
Paul

Windows 10 -problems with touchpad and two-finger scrolling

I upgraded to Windows 10, and the touchpad settings default to enable reverse scrolling direction with the two-finger scrolling. I disabled that, and it works all right.. But when I restart my computer, the change isn't saved and I have to do it all over again Is there any way to get the system to recognize the change to the settings after rebooting? I would think it would be simple, but even creating a separate profile doesn't work.

Two finger scroll problem in Preview

When viewing a pdf with over 200 pages in Preview, for example a pdf book, two fringer scroll stops functioning periodically. In order to get it working again you have to click on the destop and then click back onto preview to get two finger scroll to work agian. Is this a limitation of the Preview app? This does not seem to be a problem with smaller pdfs.

You aren't the only one having this problem.

Two finger scroll problem

Hello. Today i bought a MacBok Pro and i've got a problem with the gestures. Every single gesture is working fine (one, three, four fingers and two finger click) EXCEPT the two finger scroll. I just doesn't work at all. Can somebody help?

I have exactly the same problem on my Macbook. Even the other two-finger gestures like turning pictures around in iPhoto or zooming in are working - it´s ONLY the scrolling that doesn´t work EVER. This is a pity, as it´s the most useful gesture imho.
Anyone else having problems or any solutions in sight?
Thank you very much in advance.
Oh, and if it is useful for the solution: I´m also having the click&responsiveness trackpad problems that are causing so much trouble these days.

I am using Mac running OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) and Firefox 26. Two finger scroll down is not working all of a sudden only with Firefox.

Hardware : Macbook Pro
Operating System : OS X Mavericks v10.9.1
Browser : Firefox v26.0
All of a sudden, two finger scrolls doesn't work. Thats only when I am within Firefox Window. Everywhere it just works great. I got NO scroll bars at the edges of browser(Firefox) too. No way of proper browsing other than switching to Safari.
Request to fix this asap.
Thanks.
Regards,
Raja Gopal M

I'm having the same problem but what I found was the scrolling on my iMac was it works until you try and swipe to go back a page. Then the only solution is the quit the program and restart it.
Spec is an Apple magic track Pad on my iMac with OS X 10.9.
I'm currently using FireFox v25 but the same issue is in v27.0.1.

Two finger scrolling does not work on Synaptics touchpad + clicking problems in web browsers

Hello, Since yesterday, i have problems with my synaptics touchpad on my HP Elitebook 8570w.The two finger scrolling and scrolling at the edge of the pad does not work.Also in google Chrome, all the links open in a new tab and when i try to click the new tab, it closes (normally that is the action when i click it with the middle touchpad button) Even in the practice mode of the synaptics settings of the touchpad, the two finger scrolling and edge scrolling does not work. Both options are enabled in the settings. I already tried to roll back the driver and reinstall the driver, without any effect.I expect the problem is the touchpad or the buttons itself. Is there a way to test the buttons and touch pad? How can i solve this problem? please help me sincerely, Karel

I would try installing the Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Synaptics touchpad driver available in your sleekbook's web support download section before using compatibility mode. Try the available earlier versions if the current driver does not work for you.
If you still do not have positive results, then use compatibility mode (choose Windows 8) on all three Windows 8.1 synaptics touchpad drivers, starting with the most current one.
To use compatibility mode to install the driver softpaq just right click on the file and choose troubleshoot compatibility. Choose Windows 8 and run the installer.
The following video has a decent explanation, but the narrator does not get to the point for a bit. Skip forward to minute 4 and watch it from there.

Why doesn't two-finger scrolling work for me with Yosemite?

MacBook Pro from 2010, upgraded to Yosemite and now none of my two-finger scrolling works with the Trackpad. Doesn't work on any application - Chrome, Safari, Word, anything. It's super annoying. Tried messing around with Trackpad options in system preferences, didn't help.

Hi thekidcanada,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that this type of situation can be very frustrating. One troubleshooting step I would recommend would be to reset the PRAM on your computer. I know the article is written for Mavericks but the steps will be the same for Yosemite.

Lost two finger scrolling with Win 10 install

After installing Windows 10, two finger scrolling on the touch pad no longer works. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

You need to go to the hardware manufacture support site and look for fixes and updates there.

Two-finger scrolling with xorg hotplugging?

How can I activate two-finger scrolling with the latest xorg version?

Mine's on by default i.e. I have no setting for it in the .fdi file, but it's working anyway. Try setting it explicitly with the VertTwoFingerScroll/HorizTwoFingerScroll parameters.

So, I've seemed to solve this problem, in the interm at least.
1) Open disk utility
2) Select your HDD
3) Click "Verify Disk Permissions"
4) Click "Repair Disk Permissions" (assuming there was an issue)
5) Once complete, restart your mac
These steps worked for myself, and I've been messing around with both chrome and safari and the two finger scroll hasn't broken yet.

T430s two-finger scroll occasionally causes page to 'jump'

My problem occurs sporadically while using two-finger scroll to read documents online. I'll scroll up or down a little bit and the page will jump as if I had pressed pagedown or pageup (sometimes it jumps even further). I'm currently using Two-Finger Scroll and Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller (a Chrome extension that provides smooth scrolling similar to Mac's inertial scrolling), and I've disabled SynTPEnh.exe since it interferes with GTK+ apps. I've updated my touchpad drivers and fiddled with the settings to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, were you able to fix it?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can share some insight regarding this issue.

I experience this sometimes, it is sporadic and doesn't happen all the time. I just scroll back to the right place. I use the trackpoint most of the time so this is not a very serious issue to me.

Can I stop two-finger scroll from stopping playback in 3?

Does anyone know if it's possible for Soundtrack 3 NOT to stop playback whenever a two-finger scroll occurs, no matter how miniscule?
I'm afraid my habit of editing, developed under Soundtrack 2, involves almost constant two-finger scrolling. Making matters worse, I'm still adjusting to the no-button track pad on my new MacBook Pro, so I sometime leave my thumb where the button was on my old machine. Even a little move that doesn't even reposition the window stops playback. I actually thought that playback was randomly stopping, so I restarted twice before I realized what was happening.

Same problem here.
Also, when horizontal scrolling with two fingers, the slightest inclination of the gesture up or down starts zooming in or out while moving. SInce zoom centers on the playhead, it keeps jumping back there at the same time. Very frustrating.
It is so bad that the interface feels better when I set scroll wheel to "Scrolls window content" in prefs. The drawback is that this makes my USB mouse's conventional scroll wheel do nothing, unless I am holding shift for horiz. scroll. And it still does not solve the problem that playback stops on any 2-finger scroll, even in the now disabled up-down direction.

Two Finger Scroll Reversed in Modern Apps

Hello, I have a new Thinkpad Yoga and for some reason two finger scrolling in modern apps is fixed to reversed scrolling (scrolling down moves the page up and vice versa). Both horizontal and vertical scrolling are affected.
I have the latest Ultranav drivers and I unclicked "reverse scrolling" from the options. Desktop Apps scroll normally. Also, when I use the edge scroll it works as expected on both desktop and modern apps.
I'm thinking that there are separate entries in the registry for scrolling in modern apps or something like that...
Thanks!
-Gerardo
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, thanks for the help. Unfortunately I have already tried that.
I figured out it has something to do with how the latest UltraNav driver treats the touchpad in the Win8 modern environment. It simulates a touch screen when using two fingers. I installed the generic Synaptics driver which solved the problem but created a new one. Namely, it does not turn off the touchpad when using the Yoga in tablet or stand modes.
Another solution was to go into the registry and disable the TouchInjectionAction Key. This helped in some apps but others wouldn't recognize scrolling at all.
I'm honestly at wits end...

Two finger scrolling does not work ONLY on Firefox

This just started today, suddenly my two finger scrolling doesn't work but only when I'm in Firefox, offline and on Safari and Chrome it's fine. Restarting Firefox only fixes it for a few minutes, then it stops working again. All of the suggestions I've found that I've tried haven't worked, please if anyone could help and also break it down fairly easily, I'd really appreciate it.

Does this happen in Safe Mode?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
</blockquote>
The same issue happens on Firefox 35.0 running in safe mode, Mavericks 10.9.5, both with Magic Mouse and normal standard mouse...
It's unbeliaveble this issue is going on since more than one year ago, I can find people complaining about it since December 2013!
Oh, one more thing: I don't have a two finger swipe configuration, I have single finger swipe, so the actual problem is about scrolling the page in itself (considering I've tested it with a normal standard mouse as well....).
