Thank you for your extension! It makes Chromium usable on my convertible touchscreen netbook.

That being said, sliding doesn’t work well on touchscreen devices. It’s either very hard or too easy to initiate, depending on the heaviness of the website.

Can you add an option to turn sliding off?

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention…

Chrome versions used:
Windows 5.0.335.1 and 5.0.342.1

It probably happens on other versions before that too but I only recently found that THIS extension was the cause for the slowdowns.

*BUG: Causes CPU to jump to 100% on my computer every few minutes, may be related to the amount of tabs in a single process.

Website used to reproduce bug: http://www.engadget.com/

Go to the website and then open a few new tabs in the same process by ctrl+clicking on the title of a few articles on the website. Then, in the original tab, scroll around for a while with either the scrollbar or the chromeTouch way. Your CPU should hit 100% on at least one of its cores after a few minutes or less.

Then, with the extension disabled, refresh all those tabs and scroll around on the original (engadget.com) tab, everything should be ok.

All other extensions disabled.

*BUG: Sliding and friction parameters are working propperly only if cpu isn’t on 100%. As soon as cpu can’t handle everything in real time, the page keeps scrolling and doesn’t stop. Or at least the sliding distance is much much longer…

The Three-finger flick does not functional properly and so basic touch functionality for going forward and back a page is missing.

Great app, as I regularly use MouseImp in Browsers, but in Webkit Browsers MouseImp is not working.
But the speed is a little to low for my feeling.

Is there a possibility to drastically increase the range of the speed setting?

I got Chrome 5 and it works now for the middle button.
Still there are some bugs:

1. I push middle button down on link. I start drag slowly and after only 3 pixels (very short drag) I release the middle button. The link opens in new tab! But nothing should happen… I only wanted to (and did) scroll the page. If you set this treshold you should put it to 0 or at least 1 pixel!

2. If I push middle button down on edits, combos, buttons, checkboxes,…. the page is not scrolling! But it should.

3. Same as 2 goes to flash videos and movies

4. Bounce effect is always present even if you uncheck it!

Please try to fix it. It is a must have plugin!

@smilkobuta
I mean, if, right after using right mouse button for scrolling, I click a link or a button, nothing happens and I have to click again.
