Title:
  [HP Stream 11 Notebook - 11-d010nr] Max Double-Tap Time too short

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  There is an issue with this clickpad's simulated clicks. Specifically,
  the window for double-tapping (tapping the touchpad twice to simulate
  a double-click) is remarkably brief. Let me be clear, double-tapping
  on the touchpad does work, however if you do not get the second tap
  within a very short window after the first tap, it seems to fail to
  register as a double-click, counting it as two unrelated single clicks
  --this is an uncomfortably short window of opportunity.

  This problem exists upstream as well, tested as of this writing on the
  latest mainline kernel (version 3.18rc7).

  Things I have tried:
  Believing it to be a possible configuration issue, I attempted to increase the double-tap window by running the command:
  synclient MaxDoubleTapTime=500
  to allow a half-second delay instead of the default 180ms. However even after disabling and re-enabling the touchpad (xinput disable/enable <id>), there was no change in the brevity of this window.

  WORKAROUND: Tapping three times will register as a double-tap with a
  much more forgiving windolw of opportunity, but this is not ideal as
  it sometimes will also count the third click as its own separate
  click, which could cause unforseen problems in places where only a
  double-click specifically is desired.
