As mentioned in comment 17 of bug 485101, win7's single finger touch input defaults to horizontal text selection. We added a pref to enable / disable single finger touch input. It looks like that should be a little more fine grained allowing the user to enable / disable specific axis.
Morphing - 

Currently we simulate scroll events down in our widget code for panning. The longer term solution is to generate a new set of gesture events and expose pan input / feedback interfaces on the window.  That way the scrollable view & event state manager can control what's going on. This would allow for smarter input control. For example, switching between single finger text selection and scroll depending on the horizontal scroll state of the view.

This will also likely tie in with the work we do to expose gesture events to content, although I'm not aware of a bug related to that at this point.
Summary: provide better prefs for controlling gesture input on win7 → Move pan / feedback control logic up into event state manager / scrollable view
