I just switched from Ubuntu 17.10 to Debian Buster Sid, using GNOME 3.26.2.
I'm using a Thinkpad T430. See below for more information on my touchpad.
$ grep -B 5 mouse /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1

The problem is that **two finger scrolling is very unprecise due to jumping**. While I'm scrolling everything works fine, but as soon as I'm lifting up my fingers to stop, the page just randomly jumps or scrolls a bit randomly up or down. I never experienced such behaviour under Ubuntu.
I suspect that the motion threshold is simply to low, so that my lifting figures are detected as another scroll.
All solutions for similar issues that I found requiere to edit the conf file which, as I found out, isn't used under Wayland.
So I checked gsettings but didn't find a proper key:
$ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad
send-events
natural-scroll
tap-to-click
two-finger-scrolling-enabled
left-handed
click-method
speed
tap-and-drag
edge-scrolling-enabled
disable-while-typing
How to fix this?
Thank you and have a nice day!
