I can also confirm the bug with the following configuration in
xorg.conf:


Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier		"Synaptics Touchpad"
	Driver		"synaptics"
	Option		"Device"				"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"				"auto-dev"

	Option		"VertTwoFingerScroll"	"1"
	Option		"TapButton1"			"1"
	Option		"TapButton2"			"3"
EndSection


But I have tested the patch you sent, and it has not fixed the problem for me.
As you said, by quickly two-finger scrolling, the right-click menu indeed appers.
I might look into a solution, but since I am going into a 30-day vacation right now,
it may take some time.


Just an observation: this BUG has nothing to do with my mactel patch,
since it deals with multifinger tap-clicking, and not with the multifinger
button-click.

This is a VALID BUG that affects EVERYBODY using the original synaptics
driver with the configuration tap-click + two-finger scroll, and it would
be a LOT BETTER if you could submit this bug upstream instead.

Bug description:
When the multi-finger tapping is on, and when two-finger scrolling quickly in a window, the right-click menu often appears. Apparently the two-finger scroll and two-finger tap gets entangled. A small patch to the mactel version of synaptics is attached.

Unfortunately, not knowing anything about this code, I cannot say much about regression risks with the patch. To me, it simply looks like an unwanted line in the code.
