The settings you refer to are intentionally disabled by default, because they conflict with modern clickpad usage. But they are still available if you want to turn them on.
To enable edge scrolling look in: Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad > Touchpad > Edge Scrolling = ON To enable button areas: 1. Install package 'gnome-tweaks' 2. In Gnome Tweaks > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse Click Emulation = Area You may also be interested to try the alternate touchpad driver (only works in Xorg sessions) by adding/removing package 'xserver-xorg-input- synaptics'. ** Package changed: wayland (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to wayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766480 Title: Touchpad scroll and middle/right click not working as expected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1766480/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
