1.  The two finger problem happens only with the PPA
2.  I do not have the option of tap to click in system settngs > mouse and touchpad.  In touchpad, the only available options are two fingure scrolling and pointer speed
3.  dpkg -l | grep synaptics gives
ii  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics           1.4.1-1ubuntu2vv1                        Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server


Is the two finger right click problem new? I mean does it only happen
with the PPA?

Do you have tap to click turned on in System Settings > Mouse and
Touchpad?

Please also confirm the package version you have using:
dpkg -l | grep synaptics

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.

  This bug only happens in Unity 3D. It does not happen with Unity 2D or
  Gnome Shell.
