[Bug 247433] Re: double-finger scroll and double-finger tapping entangled in synaptics

 

This is still a bug. It would easily fixed if an option to disable two-
finger right click can be disabled. Which in my humble opinion is just a
duplicated functionality, touchpads already have buttons for left and
rich click. The only thing missing in a touchpad is a scrolling wheel.

Title:
  double-finger scroll and double-finger tapping entangled in synaptics

Status in Mactel Support:
  Fix Released
Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When the multi-finger tapping is on, and when two-finger scrolling
  quickly in a window, the right-click menu often appears. Apparently
  the two-finger scroll and two-finger tap gets entangled. A small patch
  to the mactel version of synaptics is attached.

  Unfortunately, not knowing anything about this code, I cannot say much
  about regression risks with the patch. To me, it simply looks like an
  unwanted line in the code.

  For clarification, this affects the default synaptics driver in Ubuntu
  as well as a patched version of synaptics that this bug was originally
  filed against.
