[Bug 2091831] Re: Edge and Chrome titlebar need three taps on touchpad to maximize, instead of 2, like other apps

 

I get it, but for average Joe Schmoe it is major UX problem, as any UX
expert would confirm. Now, I investigated this (for that reason) for
quite a while, and: libinput does not consider possibility to include
double-click (which would solve double-tap too), because "toolkits are
supposed to do that". Mutter is considering to be an app problem,
because all these apps are using Client side decorations. Developers of
these applications are divided into 3 groups: 1) Chromium and co.
created patch for their app, but it breaks other things, so they
reverted patch, now it is for many months broken (major app of entire
OS) with no solution in sight, 2. Smaller Qt apps don't care, they just
leave it broken in Gnome, 3. Some random apps with CSD (foot terminal)
solved it for themselves. Summary: nobody is really trying to solve this
issue, because there is no single project to blame. Related reading:

Title:
  Edge and Chrome titlebar need three taps on touchpad to maximize,
  instead of 2, like other apps

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 2024.10 I need 3 touchpad-taps to maximize Chrome or Edge
  window, while all other applications I use, "Settings" for example,
  need 2 taps.

  If I use mouse, then Chrome and Edge also need only 2 clicks (double-
  click) to maximize, so problem is related only to touchpad.
