[Bug 133060] Re: Synaptic touchpad fails to register some of the taps for tap-to-click

 

Well, seems that the problem got fixed, but another code was added that
broke the thing again.

I bet those lines in synaptics.c:1473 ( in HandleTapProcessing() ) are
responsible :

switch (priv->tap_state) {
[...]
    case TS_1:
        if (move) {
[...]
        } else if (release) {
            SelectTapButton(priv, edge);

/////// these ones ////////////
            /* Disable taps outside of the active area */
            if (!inside_active_area) {
                priv->tap_button = 0;
            }

but the inside_active_area calculation is made at line 2170 with the
current value of hw->x and y, that is, the one that are no longer
relevant (1,5855), so the assumption 'if there is no finger, there is no
position' is violated.

can someone test removing the 'if (!inside_active_area) {
priv->tap_button = 0; }' and see if this fix the problem ?

i'm gonna try it later, i don't have time now.
