Bug Description
Binary package hint: gpointing-
Enabling locked drags is an option presented by the GUI interface of this package for the Alps PS/2 Alps Glidepoint touchpad which this laptop has.
A locked drag is basically one and a half taps. One tap and then on the second tap, your finger remains on the touchpad without raising it. Hence, only one and a half taps. This should result in the same behavior as a left click-drag. But nothing happens.
Left click-drag works normally.
Package version: gpointing-

i have a Dell Studio 1737. and i am not sure if my discovery might help, normally its a finger- down-up- down-and move around operation, (a double tap and drag), but i found in ubuntu 10:04 that a triple tap and drag worked, finger- down-up- down-up- down-and move around. now i dont want to make a new bug report if this already is reported, but i dislike tripple tapping, i would like the normal double tapping. thank you.
