Could you remove the "ClickPad" option from the configuration file and

The combination of that option with the "ClickFinger" mechanism is broken,
and you probably don't need it if you don't use "soft-button areas".

Thanks! That did the trick.

Three-finger clicks should work - if your hardware detects the number of
fingers reliably.

Unfortunately, it doesn't, and right-clicking is more important than middle-clicking, so now my file looks like:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad"
    Driver "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "VertEdgeScroll" "off"
    Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
    Option "ClickFinger2" "3"
    Option "ClickFinger3" "2"
EndSection

If it's not practical to fix the bug with the "ClickPad" option, I would suggest adding a note to the synaptics(4) manpage under "ClickPad support", perhaps something along the lines of:

The use of the option ClickPad in combination with Option ClickFinger2 and/or ClickFinger3 is currently not fully supported and may lead to unexpected behaviour. In particular, enabling the Option ClickPad may cause ClickFinger functionality to stop working.
