Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Middle Click pastes text for example.
Thats good with a mouse.

Thats not good with a touchpad, because I have my fingers usually under
the space key and thats where the touchpad is. That means I am pasting
whatever is in my clipboard when i accidently touch the touchpad.

Even more problematic is that you cannot deactive that!! 
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf adding options to some other keys do not work, it simply ignores it. there is no gnome too to deactive it and i do not like to install kde-config-touchpad, which actually is able to change this however.

I want that it works to add Option "RTCornerButton" "1" and that it is
no longer making a middle click what is "2". i don't know why it simply
ignores the option!

i think it is really annoying that the touchpad is randomly pasting
clipboard text!!
