[Bug 432814] Re: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty
Lucid was almost a year ago. Shouldn't this be an open bug against Maverick (stable) or even Natty (impending LTS release)? Or have we blown those deadlines, and now we have to shoot for 11.10? This is still a daily frustration for me. Getting all three fingers to land at the same time for my second-most-used-click is nigh impossible. In modern releases, not even the old synclient hack works anymore. We're left out in the cold. I love Ubuntu, which is why it pains me to see a major UI bug that affects UX on a minute-to-minute basis take more than 1.5 years to resolve. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 Title: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It sounds like the hook script feature provides a framework for a fix, but not an actual fix for this bug. Has 1/2/3 behavior been restored? I guess I'm looking for a legitimate bugfix or a declaration from the Ubuntu maintainers that 1/3/2 (left/right/middle) is the new Ubuntu multitouch standard. If they pick 1/3/2 as the new standard, we can either start lobbying for change, lobbying the GNOME maintainers for a better mouse settings GUI, or build out a separate mouse behavior customization tool. How do I mark this bug as Needs Closure? =) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 Title: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Bug confirmed in the Netbook Remix 10.04 (Lucid) release. Taps are still 1-2-3 instead of 1-3-2, and I don't see any configuration options in the Mouse preferences panel to change it. Two-finger scroll works like a scroll wheel, which clicks as mouse3 on most mice. A two-finger tap physically mirrors a chording click on a regular 2-button mouse/trackball/trackpad/trackpoint, which I expect to produce a mouse3 click as it has for more than a decade now. Up until a year ago, Ubuntu standardized on mouse3. All of our two-finger conventions point to mouse3. 1-2-3 makes the user experience inconsistent, too. Two fingers on the pad gives me mouse2, while two fingers on the buttons gives me mouse3? I didn't think we needed to discuss *whether* 1-3-2 was a valid decision, just how to bring it back. 1-2-3 should be a supported user customization, not a default. -- Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
