[Third Replicator <54191@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's amazing that in August 2015, this but filed in 2006 is still
affecting people.  I sincerely hope that I'm an outlier.

I'm using a 2-button built-in touchpad as my pointing device to my
system 76 laptop.  To fix this annoying click-and-miss-to-drag-resize-
window-or-select-text issue I edited the following two files:

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-evdev-trackpoint.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-evdev-quirks.conf

and set

Option  "Emulate3Buttons"       "false"

in both files.  This fixed the problem in 14.04.1 Trusty Tahr for my
2-button laptop.

Here is my "xinput list"

Ffs, people, it's 2015.  Get your shit together.  :)

Title:
  Mouse button click delayed

Status in X.Org X server:
  Fix Released
Status in xserver-xorg-input-evdev package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xserver-xorg-input-mouse package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  If the Emulate3Buttons is on (which it is by default), mouse click are
  detected with a delay.

  Example , try to enlarge a window :
   - point on the windows edge
   - press and hold left mouse button
   - move the mouse

  Expected : 
   - the window edge is dragged

  Actual :
   - as the mouse click is delayed, the system detects the click when the pointer already moved off the window edge. Whatever is under the pointer in this momemt, will be clicked.

  Bug known upstream : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752

  Workaround : 
  Set in xorg.conf in the InputDevice section for the mouse :
   Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
