Comment 0 for bug 1769845

First, the obvious: the mouse experience out of the box (at least on ubuntu 17.04) is bad. I thought this was because Wayland i slightly slower on animations + mouse movement but although this is happening for some reason (memory leak, whatever) it's mostly because the setting to set the mouse 'Acceleration Profile' to 'adaptive' is hidden in the gnome-tweak tool. I highly suspect that this setting was on by default on X11 synaptics, because my mouse experience because equal after i turned it to adaptive when it was inferior before.

This is probably the cause of many of the mouse complaints on the ubuntu upgrade.

Another problem. Previously, on Xorg and synaptics i could use the right border area of my touchpad to simulate a middle mouse button click (that button doesn't exist on my keypad that has a structure like this:

-----------------------
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
-----------------------
| | |
-----------------------
The bottom are has the left and right mouse buttons, the right column was for scrolling (another bug: doesn't actually work on nautilus at the moment but works on Firefox).

Previously taps on that scroll area could open firefox links, open tabs in nautilus etc, as per 3rd mouse button. Now that whole area only does scrolling and i have to try the lottery of trying the 'three finger tap' on the central are to simulate mouse click (this doesn't work 80% of the time, and the other 15% is right clicking, that's two fingers. Even if it works, 3 fingers probably meanwhile moved the cursor when i lifted or tapped). I'd *really really* like it if i could configure those areas somehow, either graphically or on a config file.
