[Lenovo Yoga 300-11IBY] Right click not working

[Phill]

The right click is not working on Lenovo Yoga touch pad after upgrade to 18.04, worked minutes before on 17.10.

I think it works on the Think Pad out-of-the-box (after upgrade from 17.10), if that helps.

Phill, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

1) To clarify, how are you attempting to right click, tapping two fingers on the clickpad, clicking the bottom right area of the clickpad?

2) If you boot into a kernel from 17.10 does right clicking work again?

[Phill (phill.l)]

Although the buttons are integral to the touchpad, they are clearly marked with a dividing line. Having read the proposed duplicate, while this issue may have the same underlying cause, this is not a mere configuration preference on this device because it has clearly identified buttons, albeit with nothing more than a coloured dividing line.

Phill, if you install gnome-tweak-tool and configure GNOME Tweak Tool > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse Click Emulation > Area checked then it is a configuration issue, and in turn, a duplicate.

However, if you have this configured and it still doesn't work, that's a different issue.

Could you please advise?
