Bug Description
When I tap the Synaptics touchpad of my laptop, the contents of the clipboard are pasted. It's exactly as if I typed "Ctrl-V" in the current window. I see no way in the touchpad settings to disable this behavior, so it seems like a bug.
Action taken: tap the touchpad in the top right of the touchpad
Expected result: the mouse is clicked at the current location
Erroneous result: the clipboard is pasted into the current application.
WORKAROUND: Put in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "RTCornerButton" "0"
Option "RBCornerButton" "0"
EndSection
