[Bug 1500272] [NEW] "Tap to click" disabled on Wily upgrade

 

Public bug reported:

I've upgraded from Vivid to Wily. The first thing I noticed was that (on
the default Unity desktop) the System Settings -> Mouse & Touchpad ->
Tap to click setting got disabled.

Instead of immediately realizing what the actual issue was, I was afraid
for some time that my whole desktop broke: I couldn't launch apps by
clicking on their icons in the Launcher.

My left button below the touchpad is quite broken, it's very hard to
make it actually click. So tap on click is crucial for me, and re-
enabling it wasn't easy.

At least two other people have also seen this behavior; see the first
two comments at http://hup.hu/cikkek/20150926/ubuntu_15_10_final_beta
(in Hungarian).

Could you please make sure that upgrading from a previous release to
final Wily keeps this setting?
