Comment 9 for bug 839769

I'm not certain that I understand why this is considered a duplicate of #754000. That bug refers to clickpads and the three-finger click, while this bug refers specifically to the Synaptics three-finger tap.

The question of the design choice is a separate issue. Middle click emulation with a rocker button (once it's enabled) is an annoyance, almost unusable, and the middle click is used extensively in browsers and at least in one feature in the Unity interface itself, for launching new windows for a running app. I can't imagine using the MT Grab Handles even remotely as often, so this is, to me, a bad design decision. But again, that's a separate question from whether or not this is in fact a duplicate of a bug that seems to me to be expressly referring to another issue.
