The issue with touchpads and clickpads actually overlaps a little bit in code. The fix I have so far (which still needs work), does affect touchpads and clickpads. But it will probably affect them differently...
The distinction between touchpads and clickpads is necessary because the Unity designers have reserved 3-finger tap as a special gesture. I agree this is very annoying, but reserving the 3 finger tap gesture does not affect clickpad users because they can still do a 3-finger click without triggering a tap gesture. That all said, I know touchpad users still want a fix too, so I'll be looking at a general touchpad solution afterwards. P.S. Please make sure you can get 3-finger clicking/tapping working in Gnome Classic or Gnome Shell. If it doesn't even work for you there, then you're not experiencing this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) Status in Mactel Support: Confirmed Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in uTouch: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: as soon as i put down three fingers, the love handles appear. on the macbook pro a middle click is done with a 3 finger click. this is very low priority, and i could even see a wontfix. there's a simple work around to just not put all 3 fingers down at the same time and then click after all 3 are down. Please note this bug is about physically "clicking" a clickpad with 3 fingers. 3 finger tapping is different and has been intentionally overridden in Unity 3D by new gestures.
