pc trackpad scroll issue in ableon live

Post by niyo80 » Sun Jan 29, 2017 10:07 pm

hello, i just bought a new pc, a dell inspiron 13. i had a macbook pro before.
I have a problem with the trackpad usign Live: when I try to scroll up and down with 2 fingers it doesn't work properly, it's really slow. and the horizontal scroll doesn't work at all.
Another problem is that while i play notes with the computer keybord and move the mouse occasionally the cursor get's stuck and stops moving.
The trackpad works properly with borwser windows and other apps.
I was in live 8.4
I downloaded live 9 to check, but the problem persists.
Didn't find any driver update for the trackpad
Can anybody help?
Thanks

I actually have the same issue that you're referring to with the 'stuck' cursor.

It doesn't stick if I use a plug-in mouse or touchscreen. It also works if I'm holding notes and hitting tab twice and then try to adjust parameters.

But in general, if I am holding 'notes' using the qwerty, my pointer is stuck and will not move.

Ableton has never fixed this. It has been brought up for years. Nearly if not every Windows laptop or hybrid on the market has a multitouch trackpad but it isn't supported.
