Ubuntu – Scrolling with a touchscreen 14.04

14.04scrollingtouchscreen

I am having trouble configuring the touchscreen on my Asus n550jv to scroll with one finger in web browsers, office applications, etc on Ubuntu 14.04. Oddly, scrolling works in the settings apps and a handful of other preinstalled apps.

Any suggestions?
