[Bug 1264713] [NEW] [Acer Aspire 5750-9668] Tapping top right of touchpad pastes undesirably

 

Public bug reported:

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 not 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.

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