Keyboards & Touchpads

[#1]

I have figured out how to stop the zooming (yes!!) - click on the synaptics pointing device icon in the taskbar and go to device settings - go to settings - then open up the options under "advanced gestures" and go to "pinch" - this is what you want to disable.  The Synaptics people design the touchpad to zoom only when you "pinch" on the touchpad, but most of us experience the zooming without pinching - this will end it.  Hope it works for all of you like it has me!

Thank for the tip.

Thanks so much for this tip -- the zoom thing has been driving me nuts.  I've disabled the "pinch" and hope that does the trick.

Thanks for your solution!  After following your instructions, I decided to try and adjust the sensitivity and see if that would solve the problem...and it has!  Now I can still pinch if I want to but it does not do it when i have just one finger on the touchpad as it did so unpredictably before I made that adjustment.  But, if it acts up again, I know I can turn pinch off...thanks!

Appreciate your posting the tip, hope it helps those that need it? Just be sure to check the Synaptics pad installed for the 'pinch' feature.

God bless you, well and truly, champ.
