There are four solutions to fix the problem. You may not have to try them all. Just work your way down at the top of the list until you find the one that works for you.
Solution 1: Change the Mouse Pointer
- Nov 24, 2010 After it restarted, I noticed that the two-fingered right click wasn't working properly. I can still scroll with two fingers, and I can right-click if I use a mouse. But the trackpad two-fingered click doesn't work. I've restarted my computer twice, and I've tried turning the two-fingered right click setting on and off in System Preferences.
- When user scrolls the code editor or help view with two finger gesture on a trackpad, or uses Magic Mouse touch scroll gesture the scroll gestures are not working properly. User is not in control to stop a scrolling gesture and multiple scroll gestures are just 'cached' and happen one after the other. The issue is that when doing two finger.
Changing the mouse pointer had worked for some users who had the same error. So it is worth a try.
If you are not sure how to change change the mouse pointer, refer steps below.

Solution 4: Update the toupad driver
The steps above may resolve the problem, but it they don’t, update the touchpad driver.
There are two ways you can get the right driver for your touchpad: manually or automatically.
Manual driver update – You can update your touchpad driver manually by going to the manufacturer’s website, and searching for the most recent correct driver for each. Be sure to choose only drivers that are compatible with your variant of Windows version.
Automatic driver update – If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your touchpad driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for your touchpad, and your variant of Windows version, and it will download and install them correctly:
1)Downloadand install Driver Easy.
2) Run Driver Easy and click theScan Nowbutton. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3)Click the Update button next to the flagged touchpad driver to automatically download and install the correct version of that driver (you can do this with the FREE version).
Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)
4) Restart your computer and check to see if the problem is resolved.
That’s all there is to it. Hopefully one of these methods resolves your problem, and you can now use your two finger scroll.
