2020-05-10 00:27:28 Naël 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.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method "'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/input/devices xinput --list xinput --list-props 13 # where 13 is the touchpad's ID Should I report this issue to upstream libinput (www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput)? Or could this be something to do with GNOME instead? Using Ubuntu 20.04 with libinput 1.15.5-1 and xserver-xorg-input-libinput 0.29.0-1.
