Bug Description
I'm trying to switch from the "fingers" click-method to the "areas" click-method, because tapping with three fingers is awkward and I find that my three-fingers taps are rarely registered as such.
* "fingers": single-finger tap for a click, two-finger tap for a right
click, three-finger tap for a middle click
* "areas": tap in the lower right corner for a right click, tap in the
upper right corner for a middle click
After running the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.
"'areas'"
I can verify with gsettings get... that the click-method is now "areas", however tapping in the lower/upper right corners of the touchpad does not elicit the expected right/middle clicks, whereas tapping with two fingers elicits a right click. This remains the case even after rebooting the computer. It's as if the click-method was ignored and defaulted to "fingers".
I couldn't find any similar bug reports and don't know how to investigate this problem further. I assume this problem is specific to my hardware, otherwise it would have been noticed already. I attach the output of the following commands:
cat /proc/bus/
xinput --list
xinput --list-props 13 # where 13 is the touchpad's ID

I have the same problem with touchpad in laptop "Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14 with Ryzen 4700u".
My Ubuntu 20.04 setting is "Tweaks => Keyboard & Mouse => Mouse Click Emulation => Area".
With this setting: Three finger tap works as a middle click and two finger tap works as a right click which is actually incorrect behavior. I would like to use upper right corner for middle click. xorg-input- synaptics" , but it doesn't fix it.
I tried to install "xserver-
The upper right corner tap worked well with my previous laptop HP Envy 13" Skylake, with installed package "xserver- xorg-input- synaptics" , in Ubuntu 20.04. So the issue is HW dependent.
