Three finger flick not working as expected

I've got a Lenovo y580 with both Windows 7 and Windows 8 installed. When I first installed Windows 8, the three finger flick to go back or forward a page in an internet or file browser worked fine. But now, when I three finger flick backwards, instead of going to the last page I was at, it goes to the very first page I accessed (like continually going back in my history until I cannot go back any further.) The same happens with forward click.

The flick works fine in my Windows 7 installation which makes me wonder if this a registry setting somewhere that got messed up?

There is no setting to control exactly what a three-finger flick does in the Synaptics driver that I can find. Any ideas how to fix this?

I ended up fixing the problem by reinstalling the trackpad driver if anyone else has this problem.
