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? kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline

  • 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.

  • 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 :)

  • Good call, I'll report back if it works! Just set up 4.6.3. Had to update to nvidia-367 though.

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.
