[Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)

 

Daniel,

Sorry for mixing up the clicking vs tapping aspect of this bug. You are
right that they are different. I'm not sure yet what the best answer is
for how to handle three touch clicking when three touch anything is
grabbed by Unity.

On your merge request, I simply haven't had time to do any of the things
you requested, and I'm not sure I will anytime soon :(. The best thing I
can offer is to have you try to replay the example recording I attached
in the merge request that shows how there are issues when using my
trackpad. I know you've had issues trying to replay it, but maybe you'll
be able to figure it out.

Bug description:
  Please note this bug is about physically "clicking" a clickpad. It is
  not about 3-finger taps on regular touchpads.

  as soon as i put down three fingers, the love handles appear. on the
  macbook pro a middle click is done with a 3 finger click. this is very
  low priority, and i could even see a wontfix. there's a simple work
  around to just not put all 3 fingers down at the same time and then
  click after all 3 are down.
