I would really like a fix for TOUCHPADS. ubuntu is unusable for me
because of this. I've even tried switching from unity to gnome-shell but
3 finger tap does not work at all in ubuntu... It works fine in every
other distro I've used.

Bug description:
  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.

  Please note this bug is about physically "clicking" a clickpad with 3
  fingers. 3 finger tapping is different and has been intentionally
  overridden in Unity 3D by new gestures.
