Three-finger "window drag" conflicts with three-finger middle-click on Macbook Air touchpad

[Eric Williams]

## Issue

- pressing three fingers on the trackpad of an 11" macbook air 3,1 results in love-handles being displayed instead of middle-click being registered

- cannot middle-click on macbook air 3,1 trackpad

## Environment

- oneiric 11.10 x86_64

- 11" macbook air 3,1 (October 2010)

## Resolution

- [workaround] put fingers down in sequence (1-2-3) instead of all at once before pressing touchpad

- allow configuration option to disable 3-finger window drag

  or

- provide configuration option for middle-clicking some other way

## Root Cause

- 3-finger window drag cannot be disabled

- only 1 physical button available on trackpad requires multi-finger emulation
