[Bug 432814] Re: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty

 

Any news on how to handle this on Oneiric?  Neither yurivkhan's or
o.shybystyi's PPAs have been updated to 11.10 (and naturally, there is
still no way to configure this on Gnome itself).

  Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  LSB version = karmic
  Package version = 1.1.2-1ubuntu5

  Expected behaviour:
  Tap the touchpad with 2 fingers simultaneously to generate middle-click event. Tap with 3 fingers for right-click event.

  Observed behaviour:
  A 2-finger tap generates a right-click event and a 3-finger tap generates a middle-click event.

  
  Looking at the changelog for 1.1.2-1ubuntu1 I see this:
  "105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Swap the right/middle clicks generated by multi-finger tapping."
  This patch is then reverted in 1.1.2-1ubuntu2:
  "105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Drop patch as it breaks the expected behavior for multitouch clicking (LP: #320585)."

  However, I still experience the behaviour introduced in -1ubuntu1.
  Hopefully I can help get the expected behaviour back in time for
  karmic's release.
