[Bug 504799] [NEW] Disable tap-to-click does not disable corner tap clicks

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

Running Ubuntu 9.10, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.1.2-1ubuntu7, on a
Toshiba Portege R500-S5008X.

When I disable tap-to-click using System/Preferences/Mouse/Touchpad,
tapping in the bottom-right corner still simulates a right-click, which
is very disruptive as I am attempting to scroll up and down in a
document using edge scrolling. Disabling tap-to-click should disable all
taps.

Running synclient -l reports: 
    RTCornerButton          = 0
    RBCornerButton          = 3
    LTCornerButton          = 0
    LBCornerButton          = 0

I reported it to gnome (
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600128 ), but they suspect it
may be an upstream Ubuntu issue, which is why I am reporting it here.
They identified patch 103 as a suspect, although I am skeptical of that.

As I mentioned in the other bug report, I am working around the problem
by running synclient in a profile.d file.
