[Bug 840509] Re: touchpad triple-tap to middle-click stopped working in 11.10

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Jean-Baptiste Mazon, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is
already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one
would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

For me three-finger-tap used to work until 11.10 and stopped since
12.04.

There are other bugs related to this and all seem to be being completely
ignored, marked as "won't fix" or marked as duplicates of other bugs.
What exactly is going on?

Hi, with the method suggested by Alex Sytnik (post #11) your settings
are reverted to their defaults after you wake up from suspend.

For these settings to be persistent, you can follow the instructions on:
http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/11/06/persistent-touchpad-
configuration-in-ubuntu-11-10/

I've tested it in Ubuntu 12.04.

P.S. make sure that ~/.config/autostart/ directory exists, otherwise you
can not save the file.

Testing it once again after full updates, a triple tap still does not
emulate a middle button click.

Hey jmazon,


Hi, thanks for reporting this issue during the development period of
Ubuntu.

I notice there's not been further comments to the bug report since the
release came out, would you mind updating us on the status of it in the
release?

Are you still able to reproduce the issue?  If not, do you think the bug
report can be closed, or do you think we should continue tracking it?

[NachoR]

That's not a duplicate of #754000 though related. They talk about
triple-click on a clickpad, not triple-tap on a touchpad.

But it seems that the triple-click question is turning down the triple-
tap. Please, that's a very important question. I (and many other people)
do REALY NEED the third-button-triple-tap emulation. That cannot be
changed so uncounsciously!

The synclient -m 100 informs just one finger when there are 3 or 4 (it's
right when 1 or 2). That nees to be corrected IMMEDIATELY.

[Bug 840509] Re: touchpad triple-tap to middle-click stopped working in 11.10

[Ian Turner]

I should elaborate on what I'm seeing:
1 finger tap -> left click
2 finger tap -> right click
3 finger tap -> some sort of window manager operation (using scroll gestures 
here moves the active window)

Middle click is still available by pressing both buttons simultaneously,
but this is not available on clickpads, and is more difficult than a
two- or three-finger gesture.

Also seeing this on 11.10 beta. Note that there has been a lot of
fighting in the GNOME project over the finger taps; see for example
.

Oops, mistake in the bug description: it's "middle-click", not "double-click".
A three-finger tap is supposed to emulate a middle button, and used to before 
the upgrade to 11.10.
