** Description changed:

- 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.
+ Xorg fails to recognize a 3-finger click as a middle-button-click when
+ Unity is running and instead thinks it's a left-click.  This bug only
+ happens in Unity 3D. It does not happen with Unity 2D or Gnome Shell.
  
  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.
