Bug Description

3-finger move/resize stopped working with a raring update I got on Saturday April 6. 4-fingers works with the dash and launcher. 3-finder double-tab-and-hold does show the switcher. But 3-finger-tap does not trigger the grab handles. Tapping dragging does move the window.

What does that actually mean "the wanted behavior" has this been changed
from being enabled by default. This is sort of hindering my productivity

@ Andrea.
Whether the grab icons appear or not is the issue with this bug, I believe.

The problem is that the 3-finger drag does not work at all, with or without the icons appearing. This is annoying as it was working fine before and was a good productivity aid. Now gone, since I upgraded to a recent 13.04 beta.

I have exactly the same behaviour as reported by Curtis.

In my Samsung Series 9, specifically NP900X4C-A02PT, doesn't work since I updated to raring. When I was on Precise works perfectly.
