I just bought the new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and installed Chrome on it. Totally frustrated when I found that the browser mixes up scrolling and zooming when you use the multi-point touch pad.
Tried the windows 8 mode of Chrome which looked better but after upgrading OS to Windows 8.1, the new title bar of metro app was conflicting with tab header on Chrome. Every time you go to the Chrome tab for switching the hidden metro app title bar will popup, stopping you from clicking the tab (this happens only if you move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen) and it is really annoying. No need to mention the desktop Google trying to introduce in the windows 8 mode. That was a a stupid move. Nobody wants a desktop inside a desktop. That is too tricky if you multitask a lot..
Well after a little googling and trial and error it seems that I have a solution.
You are done! Chrome will not zoom while you are scrolling, any longer..
PS: You can also disable the scrolling in Mouse properties if you want to disable the whole scrolling-using-touch-pad business. Not necessary though to fix the mix up issue.

- Go to chrome://flags/ in Chrome
- Search for flag "Enable pinch scale" and Disable it
- Restart Chrome by clicking the button that appear at the bottom
