Bug Description
I haven't expereinced this before, though a google search shows complaints from at least 2016.
Three fingers results in a right-click now for whatever reason. I have the appropriate settings enabled in KDE (I haven't changed them).
Middle click works sometimes after restarting the device via xinput, but this is very rare.

If your three-finger taps are inconsistent (sometimes registered as left clicks, sometimes as right clicks, sometimes as middle clicks), it could be related to the following upstream issues:
https:/ /gitlab. freedesktop. org/libinput/ libinput/ -/issues/ 361 /gitlab. freedesktop. org/libinput/ libinput/ -/issues/ 473

I am also affected by inconsistent three-finger taps (most often registered as right clicks) on a "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad".
