Description breeler 2013-04-03 08:13:33 UTC 
On IBM Thinkpad T530.
Fedora17. 
When setting the touchpad sensitivity by going to: 
 System Settings > Input devices > Touchpad > General > Touch sensitivity, 
the slider labelling is the wrong way round.

Expected behaviour:
i.e. to make the Touchpad more sensitive to touch, one would expect to set the "Touch Sensitivity"  slider to "High". (Right-hand side). 

Actual behaviour: 
But that makes the Touchpad LESS sensitive.

Suggested correction:
Either swap 'Low" and "High", or preferably replace "Low" with "More sensitive" and "High" with "Less sensitive".



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Touchpad sensitivity:  System Settings > Input devices > Touchpad > General > Touch sensitivity, 
2. Slide "Touch Sensitivity" slider  to High.
3. Touchpad in actuality becomes LESS sensitive. 
Actual Results:  
Touchpad in actuality becomes LESS sensitive. 

Expected Results:  
Touchpad should become more sensitive. 

Suggested correction:
Either swap 'Low" and "High", or preferably replace "Low" with "More sensitive" and "High" with "Less sensitive".

Thanks!

That control module  is provided by either synaptiks or kcm_touchpad,  but neither of them is developed and tracked here.  Please check which one you are using and report the problem to its authors.
