@vanvugt I think this is still a big problem lots of 16.04 -> 18.04
upgraders will run into.
This one blew my mind after installing 18.04 today. If this is going to
be the new default, we need to warn users, because those of us not using
Apple/ChromeOS hardware *expect* clickpads to work like they have for a
decade now so it feels like an Ubuntu regression / issue.
The easier solution may be to do a little bit of hardware detection
before Ubuntu configures this one for the users, and set the relevant
hardware accordingly (Apple/ChromeOs->"fingers";
Dell/Lenovo/Etc->"areas").
Currently (18.04), the easy fix for this is to set:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method
areas
My bug 1767383 is almost certainly a dupe of this one (sorry, I was
originally searching for it against the old driver), but I'll let
someone else decide that.

Bug description:
Using the touchpad I was not able to trigger any right click (with a
single finger in the bottom right area), and I tought it was a problem
of how unity8 handled the right clicks. Instead I just tried with a
mouse and right click trigger different actions from left clicks.
In the end the problem is that my touchpad right click is considered a
left click by the system. This does not happen with an usb mouse.
