I am also affected by this bug. Note that this behaviour is inconsistent with the manual description of the AreaBottomEdge Option which states : " Ignore movements, scrolling and tapping which take place below this edge. The option is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the AreaBottomEdge option to any integer value other than zero. Property: "Synaptics Area" "
However tapping is not completely ignored in this area because if I rest my index finger in this area the touch is recognized and I am unable to move the cursor with my middle finger. This makes text highlighting or other click and drag options impossible for me.
