This sounds like the behavior expected now that Synaptics locked drags is enabled per https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- desktop/2012-February/003694.html The user must add a final tap to end the drag/selection, or wait for the timeout -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934770 Title: Inadvertant mouse movement click is causing cursor to stick on left click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/934770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That seems the same issue than bug #934770 the change was discussed described by Chase on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2012-February/003694.html * When the user checks Enable mouse clicks with touchpad, I believe the Synaptics Locked Drags setting should be true. ... If it's not entirely clear what the change is, try setting the property and playing with it. Enabling the property resolves the problem of trying to drag farther than your touchpad is wide or tall.

[Bug 934770] Re: Inadvertant mouse movement click is causing cursor to stick on left click
The locked drag is accounting for some of this yes, users can exit with a single tap when dragging something. (though in the past I believe most users of the typical single finger touchpads would just simply hold button one for extended drags What it, lthe ocked drag being enabled, isn't accounting for is the constant 'locked highlighting' in browsers text files ala the 2nd video . In this case a double tap, (2 taps, 1 finger) is needed to exit or wait for the time out At least here on a small touchpad, 1.5X2 inches, this is occurring constantly. Is it now the position that I many other users have to either put up with it, 2 tap out, or retrain our use of touchpads? Again on small touchpads an inadvertent single finger 2 tap is common Additionally this change or changes are now causing these periods of loss of any left click function, in these cases a wait out is needed. I've not yet found how to reproduce that other then it's definitely caused by an inadvertent 2 or maybe 3 tap, single finger. (with 2 3 single finger tap disabled here it has never re-occured I'm not sure to whose benefit these changes are being made for, likely not the majority at this point it would seem better to provide them thru non -default options. I guarantee if left as is the complaints user confusion will certainly increase -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934770 Title: Inadvertant mouse movement click is causing cursor to stick on left click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/934770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 934770] Re: Inadvertant mouse movement click is causing cursor to stick on left click
I can verify what Sebastien has written. I made the change to synaptics to default to locked tap-and-drag. It was a requested feature by people with clickpad devices because it was very difficult to click and drag before. I am monitoring feedback from users about this and other changes. If many people find it to be a problem, we can consider reverting it. I'm merely trying to weigh the benefits and advantages. I hope to merge better clickpad support late this week or early next through a feature freeze exception. If that lands, we can probably revert this change as clickpad users will have a more natural option for clicking and dragging beyond the size of the trackpad. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Chase Douglas (chasedouglas) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Summary changed: - Inadvertant mouse movement click is causing cursor to stick on left click + Trackpad behavior change causes tap-and-drag to lock -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934770 Title: Trackpad behavior change causes tap-and-drag to lock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/934770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In the context of if I disable LockedDrags it still happens, previous behavior was that a 2 tap with movement would highlight only to the extent of the movement, then it released Now it never releases until an inactivity timeout or a new 2 tap Additionally this is often not the result of intentionally wanting to highlight anything, it just keeps happening inadvertently thru normal touchpad use, probably more likely on very small touchpads And then there is the also newly introduced loss of left click altogether for a time based period, again this is from inadvertent action(s), not sure what yet (noting that when I say 2 tap I mean 2 single finger taps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934770 Title: Trackpad behavior change causes tap-and-drag to lock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/934770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry to spam this - starting to think a mouse click has nothing to do with this By default TapAndDragGesture is set to 1 which here allows 2 3 taps to register (2 tap to open, 3 tap to highlight So what's happening is a quick 2 tap cursor move is 'grabbing' , this lasts till I stop activity wait 5 sec's. If I set TapAndDragGesture to 0 then I'm only getting a single tap registered I believe this issue can't occur So if TapAndDragGesture=1 is intended to allow 2/3 tap then possibly this can be considered user error not a bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934770 Title: Inadvertant mouse movement click is causing cursor to stick on left click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/934770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
