A point to consider is that not all touchpads look the same and behave the same. Hardware manufacturers do use their freedom of physical design decisions to drive the user into a natural interaction that fits their vision. By not having visible buttons and requiring significant force for physical clicking, touch tends to feel more natural (as in the name).
While not a "significant restriction", the software view is often much simpler than the variety of real hardware outside. This poses rather an inconsistency, and the system does not notify the user about the change of interaction paradigm. This also appears new and inconsistent in comparison to other widespread desktops (Unity) where such enforcements are not active. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1708828 Title: Trackpad tap does not work in GDM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1708828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
