I have come across another situation in which the proposed solutions do not work. There are more than just dragging action that require the left mouse button to be held down.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 859474] Re: Dragging with touchpad unusable
Although the solutions proposed to somewhat fix the problem, they don't do so very effectively. With just the SingleTapTimeout set to 360 click and drag is improved (although not fixed) however single taps get a noticeable delay (which is bearable). Enabling FastTaps seems to fix this for some people, however it makes double clicking quite difficult. It does seem that the issue isn't so much the default configuration, but the gesture required to initiate the tap and drag. As I said previously, and even with the SingleTapTimeout set to 360, I still need to start dragging before that timeout is up otherwise it won't work. The gesture should be (Tap)+(Press), no dragging should be required to initiate the drag, as when you are trying to do sensitive dragging, arbitrarily dragging before the timeout to initiate the gesture is not an option. A (Tap)+(Press) gesture shouldn't be ambiguous, as a double click is a (Tap)+(Tap). -- 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/859474 Title: Dragging with touchpad unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/859474/+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 859474] Re: Dragging with touchpad unusable
It looks like those are the default settings for the synaptics Xorg driver (xf86-input-synaptics upstream or xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu). In the latest version of xf86-input-synaptics (1.50), src/synaptics.c contains the following lines: pars-tap_time = xf86SetIntOption(opts, MaxTapTime, 180); and pars-fast_taps = xf86SetBoolOption(opts, FastTaps, FALSE); which as said before, seem to be the culprit of this problem. A simple patch to change those values in the source code would fix this problem. -- 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/859474 Title: Dragging with touchpad unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/859474/+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

For me, under Gnome Shell with an Elantech trackpad, doubling SingleTapTimeout fixed the issue, and the setting persists over suspend and resume (many Synclient settings don't.)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 859474] Re: Dragging with touchpad unusable
I'm also effected by this and it is not restricted to unity or gnome. I am having the same problem in xfce. As has been explained by Alti El at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input- synaptics/+bug/874675 , the action to drag seems to have gone from (Tap)+(Press) to (Tap)+(Press and Drag) The frustration is then initiating the drag on the second touch before the timeout. Increasing the timeout certainly makes it more possible, but there are many times when I would previously pause, whilst pressing my finger, before I'd initiate dragging. I now have to arbitrarily move to initiate the drag before the timeout before I can pause to work carefully. There's no reason the action should require the drag to be initiated before a timeout. A double click can be represented by a double tap, so as long as the finger is removed on the second tap before a timeout it will register as a double click, and if the finger isn't removed before the timeout it registers as a drag. -- 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/859474 Title: Dragging with touchpad unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/859474/+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

It works, but it seems much stricter and rarely is my double-tap and drag good enough to initiate the drag. It seems now that I need to start the drag immediately after the touble tap. Wait too long and it fails. Start the drag too soon and it fails (the drag is absorbed into the double tap?).

Please reconsider invalidating this bug. I was able to confirm that it is a Unity issue by switching over to the gnome-shell and attempting to double-tap-and-drag.
