It's very difficult to find a really good title for a bug. In short: We don't use the buttons around a touch-pad. If we want to perform a click, we tap on the pad. The standard configuration until jaunty was, that tapping with two fingers performs a mouse3 click. Unfortunately this changed in karmic and lucid. Now we have to use three fingers in order to perform a mouse3 click, which can't be done by normal humans.
I use these multi-touch capabilities very often and it would be great if lucid restores the old behavior. My use cases: * Scroll through websites by using two finger scrolling. * Click at items on the screen by using single-finger tapping. (mouse1) * Open links on websites in new tabs of Firefox by using two-finger tapping. (mouse3) * Open the context menu of an item by tapping on the right lower corner of the touch-pad with one finger. (mouse2) -- Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
