I can confirm this behavior on Dell Inspiron 640m and Ubuntu 8.04 To check it you need only laptop with mouse and touchpad.
As it was already suggested, tap on a touchpad should always be resolved to a left mouse button click of right handed mouse (do not know how to explain this more clearly). There is not really convenient workaround: one may switch off treatment of taps as a mouse button clicks and use touchpad only for cursor movement and touchpad buttons for clicks. -- Touchpad changes behavior when using left-handed mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
