I think this should be Low actually... Like other modern platforms we should move to only using and expecting right click via two fingers, rather than designating the bottom right area (which only exists as paint, not in the electronics).
If you're using a modern clickpad it's really annoying in Unity7 that clicking in the wrong area on the clickpad does something different. Unity8/Mir should behave like macOS and ChromeOS in that you can only right click with two fingers by default. Make it an option to use the bottom-right by all means (so keep this bug open), but I think we've got the default setting right... ** Summary changed: - Right click from clickpad is handled as a left click + Bottom right area of touchpad no longer treated as right click ** Changed in: mir Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: mir Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: mir (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: mir (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: unity8-desktop-session (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Also affects: libinput (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Using the touchpad I was not able to trigger any right click, and I - tought it was a problem of how unity8 handled the right clicks.
