Patch to fix this bug.

Michal are you able to reproduce the bug even though you copy that policy file to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-synaptics.fdi

Please go into Systems->Preferences->Mouse, click on the tab "Touchpad" and enable your preferred scrolling method.

I'm using KDE and can't find anything related to this.

I'll test it as soon as possible, but it'll be around 19:30 UTC

Additional info:
When I press the left button of my touchpad, while the cursor is above a scrolling bar, and while keeping the left touchpadbutton pressed, the scroll works.
But it does not work without doing this "procedure"

Ok, changing the scroll mthond under "Mouse" did do the job for me. But you should consider changing the default bahviour to "Edge Scrolling".

A good default setup would be (at least I know all of my friends use their laptop like that):

DisableTouchpadWhileTyping: Aktive
EnableMouseClicksWithTouchpad: Aktive
EdgeScrolling: Enabled
And the rest being disabled/inaktive.

with this file, it works

Please see the synaptics feature page below. your touchpad supports two-finger scrolling and this is enabled by default instead of edge scrolling.
