I've noticed in Chrome at least, if I take my fingers off my touchpad for a few seconds, and put them back down, there's a very good chance it triggers something that scrolls to the top of the page immediately (almost like pressing the Home key).

Is this a feature I can disable?

  • Maybe try a newer kernel just to see if it's fixed upstream? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ – Joakim Koed Jul 10 '16 at 16:58
  • I'll give this a shot. I also just noticed the scroll jumping happens to the end of the page as well if I start the two-finger scroll down motion. It must be that initial direction I move in that causes it to jump. – Big Millz Jul 10 '16 at 17:12
  • My X1 carbon (2015, so last generation) works perfectly. So will yours. But it's quite new hardware, so a newer kernel might do some good :) – Joakim Koed Jul 10 '16 at 17:17
  • Good call, I'll report back if it works! Just set up 4.6.3. Had to update to nvidia-367 though. – Big Millz Jul 10 '16 at 18:01
  • Still happening :/ – Big Millz Jul 11 '16 at 00:09
  • I just noticed a way to reproduce this behavior, and it's only in Chrome. If I "flick" two fingers to scroll, and click while it's still smooth scrolling (using the buttons) it jumps in the same way. – Big Millz Jul 11 '16 at 03:43
  • Strange, does not happen here :/

    If it's only in chrome, maybe try turning off smooth scrolling in about:flags ?

This bug is fixed in Chrome 52: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/Xh9GV7jNymo https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=609748

Until then, the 'solution' I use is to place one finger on the trackpad before the other. Then you can scroll without jumping.
