Two finger scroll on touchpad is very jittery

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

When two finger scrolling the scroll is not smooth at all and tends to overshoot when you lift your fingers. Other laptops have a much smoother scroll. IS there a adjustment or fix for this?

Found a resolution.

I was adjusting the mouse pointer speed and scrolling speed. This had no impact.

I discovered there is a separate tab for touch-pad adjustments. Adjusted the scroll speed for the touch-pad and things have settled down nicely.

This comes down to a lack of experience with KDE on a laptop.
