Public bug reported:
When I tap the Synaptics touchpad of my laptop, the contents of the
clipboard are pasted. It's exactly as if I typed "Ctrl-V" in the current
window. I see no way in the touchpad settings to disable this behavior,
so it seems like a bug.
Action taken: tap the touchpad in the top right of the touchpad
Expected result: the mouse is clicked at the current location
Erroneous result: the clipboard is pasted into the current application
This is a brand new Dell Latitude E7450 running Xubuntu Trusty
(Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, Release: 14.04).
Here is the output of apt-cache:

Note that this seems to be the exact same bug as was reported in
#1264713, but that bug is permanently closed and I was asked to create a
new issue.
