I think this should be Low actually...

Like other modern platforms we should move to only using and expecting
right click via two fingers, rather than designating the bottom right
area (which only exists as paint, not in the electronics).

If you're using a modern clickpad it's really annoying in Unity7 that
clicking in the wrong area on the clickpad does something different.
Unity8/Mir should behave like macOS and ChromeOS in that you can only
right click with two fingers by default.

Make it an option to use the bottom-right by all means (so keep this bug
open), but I think we've got the default setting right...

** Summary changed:

- Right click from clickpad is handled as a left click
+ Bottom right area of touchpad no longer treated as right click

** Description changed:

- Using the touchpad I was not able to trigger any right click, and I
- tought it was a problem of how unity8 handled the right clicks. Instead
- I just tried with a mouse and right click trigger different actions from
- left clicks.
+ Using the touchpad I was not able to trigger any right click (with a
+ single finger in the bottom right area), and I tought it was a problem
+ of how unity8 handled the right clicks. Instead I just tried with a
+ mouse and right click trigger different actions from left clicks.
  
  In the end the problem is that my touchpad right click is considered a
  left click by the system. This does not happen with an usb mouse.
