If you have an elantech touchpad it seems there is a regression with the newest synaptics driver:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/873482

"It is almost certainly 200_fix_four_tap.patch, it reintroduces the
finger counting which is not valid for our touchpads."

"And merged upstream now, so I guess it finally is an upstream bug.
http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/9628/
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-
synaptics/commit/?id=da461b91659d0c64aa6827e065aee2682116a57e (a week
after I get the upstream bug closed...)"

Here's the upstream report that was initially closed because it was an ubuntu issue, but now does seem to be upstream:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/process_bug.cgi

Its causing 3 finger tap to be recognized as 1 finger AGAIN. I was so
glad this was finally fixed only to see it regress late in the dev
cycle, just awesome :/

Title:
  Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)

Status in Mactel Support:
  Invalid
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  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.
