[Bug 930938] [NEW] Kinetic 2-finger scrolling no longer works after upgrade to 12.04

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I upgraded to 12.04 yesterday and just realised that kinetic 2-finger
scrolling no longer works with my touchpad.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to System Setting / Mouse and Touchpad
2. Click on the Touchpad tab
3. Set scrolling to Two Finger Scrolling
4. Close the settings
5. Open a document that requires scrolling (e.g. long web page in Firefox, long text file in Gedit, etc)
6. Scroll through the document using two fingers on the touchpad

Expected behaviour
When scrolling, the page should keep scrolling up or down when the fingers are taken off the touchpad and stop on its own.

Actual behaviour
Scrolling stops dead as soon as fingers are taken off the touchpad, making it quite cumbersome to scroll through long documents.

Alternative expected behaviour
Have an option to enable kinetic scrolling in the touchpad settings.
