MultiTouch Input Devices (e.g. Trackpad) are Broken

MacOS.

Step 1) Use trackpad or multitouch mouse
Step 2) Watch insane max-speed scrolling all the time
Step 3) Be unable to even right-click on things because 1/100000th of an inch of two-finger movement registers as a scroll

Reading the forums, this has apparently been broken for months. How have trackpads been broken for months?
