More debugging information with xev, if you put one finger on the clickpad and press it with another finger, it will return the left click and right click event altogether.

Open your home directory. 2. Press the clickpad with one finger, and move the cursor across several files with another finger 3. Put a finger on the clickpad and try to move the cursor across several files after click on the clickpad with another hand. Expected results: * You should be able to select multiple files Actual result: * Cursor won't move, you can't select multiple files with step 2 or 3, the only way to do this selection is to press the clickpad with one finger and move the cursor with it (or do a double tap and hold) BTW, I'm not sure if it's a by-design feature. ubuntu@201406-15234:~$ xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ DLL0674:00 06CB:75DB UNKNOWN id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] ubuntu@201406-15234:~$ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.16.0-33-generic 3.16.0-33.44~14.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-33.44~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt7 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-33-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Apr 2 05:46:21 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-04-02 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) SourcePackage: linux-lts-utopic UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hwe-next/+bug/1439608/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
