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.

For clarification, this affects the default synaptics driver in Ubuntu as well as a patched version of synaptics that this bug was originally filed against.
