[Bug 1511496] Re: Synaptics touchpad pastes when clicked in the top-right corner

 

Ethan Trewhitt, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19
/product-support/product/latitude-e7450-ultrabook/drivers an update to
your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A08). If you
update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  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
