Public bug reported:
I have a HP Pavilion laptop with a Synaptics touchpad. This touchpad has
integrated "clicking" buttons.
When I press the right click button, it is correctly registered as right click.
However, when I have a finger touching the pad somewhere else (used for
scrolling), the right click button is registered as left button (see output of
xev below)
I have also provided output of evtest
Use case: I'm moving the mouse cursor with my left hand and then use my
right hand to use the right click button. My left hand finger is still
touching the pad. When I click the right click button I expect a result
accordingly. E.g. right click on the desktop provides a pop up menu.
I have looked at synclient, but not found a setting that solves this
(but maybe I didn't look hard enough ;)
Relevant output of XEV:
- I press 'a' on keyboard
- Right click
- I press 'b' on keyboard
- touch pad with finger (nothing registers in xev
- Right click, reported by xev as button 1
- I press 'c' on keyboard
