Title:
  Synaptics touchpad pastes when clicked in the top-right corner

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I tap the Synaptics touchpad of my laptop, the contents of the
  clipboard are pasted. It's exactly as if I typed "Ctrl-V" in the
  current window. I see no way in the touchpad settings to disable this
  behavior, so it seems like a bug.

  Action taken: tap the touchpad in the top right of the touchpad
  Expected result: the mouse is clicked at the current location
  Erroneous result: the clipboard is pasted into the current application

  This is a brand new Dell Latitude E7450 running Xubuntu Trusty
  (Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, Release: 14.04).

  Here is the output of apt-cache:

  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics:
    Installed: 1.7.4-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1.7.4-0ubuntu1
    Version table:

  Note that this seems to be the exact same bug as was reported in
  #1264713, but that bug is permanently closed and I was asked to create
  a new issue.
