[Ethan Trewhitt <ubuntu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suggest reopening this bug. It definitely still exists. I'm running
Trusty with all the usual packages up-to-date. I'm on a new Dell
Latitude E7450 with a Synaptics trackpad.

Title:
  [Acer Aspire 5750-9668] Tapping top right of touchpad pastes
  undesirably

Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
  Release:	14.04

  2) uname -a
  Linux monikerpc 3.12.0-7-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Sun Dec 8 23:39:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  3) What is expected to happen is if one taps the top right of the
  touchpad, it does not paste anything.

  4) What happens instead is it consistently pastes. Unfortunately,
  there are no settings exposed by the GUI in Applications Menu ->
  Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad to adjust this. As well, this is
  despite in that menu -> tab Devices -> checkbox Disable touchpad while
  typing is unchecked. This is quite inconvenient as one could have
  their mouse towards the top of the screen, scrolling with the touchpad
  and not notice things are being pasted unintentionally. Hence, this
  functionality should be opt-in, versus opt-out.

  WORKAROUND: Change RTCornerButton=2 to 0 via:
  synclient RTCornerButton=0

  WORKAROUND: Ensure one does not accidentally use a clicking motion on
  the top right of the touchpad when scrolling.
