Public bug reported:
I'm trying to switch from the "fingers" click-method to the "areas"
click-method, because tapping with three fingers is awkward and I find
that my three-fingers taps are rarely registered as such.
* "fingers": single-finger tap for a click, two-finger tap for a right
click, three-finger tap for a middle click
* "areas": tap in the lower right corner for a right click, tap in the
upper right corner for a middle click
After running the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method \
"'areas'"
I can verify with gsettings get... that the click-method is now "areas",
however tapping in the lower/upper right corners of the touchpad does
not elicit the expected right/middle clicks, whereas tapping with two
fingers elicits a right click. 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.
