"Checked the issue on Microsoft Surface pro, We are able to scroll with the help of touchpad using two fingers without affecting the selected line of text.

@Reporter: Could you please check the same in a new profile and let us know if the issue is still seen.

Thanks!"

I will check and get back to you.
I am very far from the thought that the problem is with ALL touchpads, that is why I gave mine (the laptop is Lenovo Y700). If you could:
a) get your hands on one and test and see if the driver is at fault
b) tell me how can I provide more info or check for myself
I would be very happy to assist.

Guys, just saw that I wrote - Visual Studio CORE - it should read Visual Studio CODE team :) I'm sorry.

Hi guys,

I tested with another user - same result.
I checked for a new driver for my touchpad, it is the latest version, and it was very recently released: 

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/si/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-y-series-laptops/y700-touch-15isk/80nw/downloads?linkTrack=Caps%3ABody_SearchProduct&searchType=4&keyWordSearch=Y700%2520Touch-15ISK%2520Laptop%2520%2528ideapad%2529%2520-%2520Type%252080NW

I will try and find an older version and try with it. What bugs me is that I tested the Monaco editor (the one used in VS Code) in Chrome and it didn't exhibit the same behavior.

That is why I am offering to do debugging for you on my machine, I just need instructions on what to look for. I have some experience in desktop/COM development.

As per comment #3, the issue need to be tested in Lenovo Y700 touchpad laptop and the device is not available with TE-hyd team. Hence, adding label TE-Hardware-Dependency.
Also adding label TE-NeedsTriageFromMTV, and requesting someone from MTV team to please have a look into the issue if that particular device is available there.

Thanks...!!

Maybe you need just the ELAN touchpad, not the whole laptop. I think its not just in my laptop, maybe their driver is the same for all models.

I'm experiencing the same issue with VSCode with a Lenovo with an ELAN Touchpad.

Same issue on a Lenovo Yoga laptop with ELAN touchpad.

The same issue Lenovo y720 :(

Same issue with Lenovo Y520, any fix? :(

Also happens on Lenovo Yoga 710. The issue appears to be with how the ELAN drivers are passing commands to chromium. This affects apps that run on Electron (Slack and VS Code for me), but not Chrome as a browser which I assumed would also have the same issues from Chromium.

I'm also encountering this on an HP EliteBook in VS Code.

Lenovo LEGION Y520-15IKBN. ELAN touchpad. Coming from VS Code issue. Using the touchpad a lot and would truly appreciate a fix!
