Public bug reported: In Lubuntu Saucy, installed on a Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop with a Synaptics touchpad, double-tap to open a file or folder works sporadically/erratically/badly. It often requires a VERY fast double- tap, or a very fast double-tap with extra force, but even these measures may not work.
Via synclient, I played with the FingerLow, FingerHigh and MaxDoubleTapTime settings, but did not arrive at something that worked. I did eventually discover that a *triple-tap* reliably yields the behavior I would expect from a double-tap. Using Lubuntu Live discs, I found the same behavior on a Trusty Daily Build, and on older versions at least back to Lubuntu 12.10. I also booted a Lubuntu Trusty Build Live disc on an HP Elitebook 8530p with a Synaptics touchpad and also found the bad behavior there, though somewhat lessened. Perhaps due to the faster Core 2 Duo processor? Booting an *Ubuntu* Saucy Live disc on the Lenovo, double-tap worked as expected. Double-tap also worked as expected on this machine under Windows Vista. On another laptop with Lubuntu Saucy but an ALPS touchpad, double-tap worked as expected. In accord with http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debugging/TouchpadDetection (the section "Touchpad features work, but does not work correctly and as expected"), I will include xmodmap, xinput, evtest and xev attachments in a logs.tar.gz archive. For evtest and xev, I tried to capture a single double-tap between typed letter "a" identifiers.
