What kind of touchscreen to you have? Is it by any chance a Wacom screen, or a Lenovo product?
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2020-07-28 18:13:52 UTC
old lenovo G400S touch laptop.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-07-28 18:44:45 UTC
I thought so.

Lenovo laptops have Wacom screens, which are affected by a bug in the wacom driver that causes this issue. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-wacom/+bug/1774242

Looks like the fix was released in a later version than the Ubuntu base in Neon. The impending 20.04 rebase should include it.

In the meantime, you can fix it yourself by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wacom.conf to replace `Driver "wacom"` with `Driver "libinput"` for the section with "Wacom USB touchscreen class" in it.

My laptop has a Synaptic touchscreen, not Wacom. And I can scroll contents with it in other kde softwares like Dolphin and Kate.
This bug persists on neon unstable based on ubuntu 22.04.
