This remains the case even after rebooting the computer. It's as if the click-method was ignored and defaulted to "fingers". I couldn't find any similar bug reports and don't know how to investigate this problem further. I assume this problem is specific to my hardware, otherwise it would have been noticed already. I attach the output of the following commands: cat /proc/bus/input/devices xinput --list xinput --list-props 13 # where 13 is the touchpad's ID Should I report this issue to upstream libinput (www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput)? Or could this be something to do with GNOME instead? Using Ubuntu 20.04 with libinput 1.15.5-1 and xserver-xorg-input- libinput 0.29.0-1.
