[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1767383] [NEW] touchpad right+click not working
Public bug reported: - Freshly installed 18.04 (from 16.04, in which everything was working great). This behavior is consistent across several tested applications (firefox, ubuntu desktop, terminal). What I expected to happen: 1. I right click the touchpad, see appropriate response from relevant application under mouse. What actually happened: 1. The right click is registered as a primary click, so there was not an appropriate response. Notes: 1. The two-finger-tap works fine, and generates the appropriate right+click response from all tested apps.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1767383] Re: touchpad right+click not working
Additional logs enclosed in coming posts (multi-attachments still not supported!?). The `evtest` events are me alternating between right (first) then left clicks on the touchpad. In the `xev` events log, I hit the "r" key to identify when I am about to rt+click and "l" as an identifier of when I am about to left+click. Let me know if I can send along anything else... ** Attachment added: "xmodmap" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1767383/+attachment/5128513/+files/xmodmap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767383 Title: touchpad right+click not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1767383/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1767383] Re: touchpad right+click not working
After some additional troubleshooting, I've decided this is reported to the wrong package. Switching that. The fix for me here was to set: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method areas It appears that libinput defaulted my computer on reinstall of Ubuntu to the Apple/Mac style 1-2-3 finger alt-clicking. I think that is a great default *for Apple computers*, but a poor one for devices like this Dell where the traditional behavior is that of a 'clickpad', i.e., where you right+click by physically clicking on the bottom right of the touchpad. My suggested fix would be to detect the appropriate vendor and change click-method accordingly (Dell/Lenovo/Other->"areas"; Apple->"fingers"). Otherwise, we need to train users what to do, because this is *entirely unexpected* behavior from anyone who doesn't use a Mac computer. ** Also affects: libinput (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767383 Title: touchpad right+click not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libinput/+bug/1767383/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1603183] Re: Bottom right area of touchpad no longer treated as right click
@vanvugt I think this is still a big problem lots of 16.04 -> 18.04 upgraders will run into. This one blew my mind after installing 18.04 today. If this is going to be the new default, we need to warn users, because those of us not using Apple/ChromeOS hardware *expect* clickpads to work like they have for a decade now so it feels like an Ubuntu regression / issue. The easier solution may be to do a little bit of hardware detection before Ubuntu configures this one for the users, and set the relevant hardware accordingly (Apple/ChromeOs->"fingers"; Dell/Lenovo/Etc->"areas"). Currently (18.04), the easy fix for this is to set: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method areas My bug 1767383 is almost certainly a dupe of this one (sorry, I was originally searching for it against the old driver), but I'll let someone else decide that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1603183 Title: Bottom right area of touchpad no longer treated as right click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1603183/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
