touchpad only works as mouse, no touchpad features

I've never had a problem before. The touchpad worked great on all Ubuntu releases including Eoan until I installed the latest updates today. I generally use Wayland. I haven't tested the touchpad on X11.

Since I use wayland, I'm not sure what to report instead of Xorg.0.log (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_Touchpad_features_like_scrolling.2C_tapping.2C_etc._do_not_work_at_all.)

This problem seems resolved. I'm not sure what I did to fix it.

Ah ha! This is a bug, but it gets resolved after a laptop suspend-resume cycle. That is, the touchpad is not detected after a reboot. However, it is detected after the next suspend-resume.
