Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
On the Macbook Air 11", the clickpad has a resolution of 1280x800. Using the
xinput command I can disable to bottom quarter for dedicated use as a button:
xinput set-prop bcm5974 "Synaptics Area" 0 0 0 600
This works and touches in the bottom quarter are ignored.
However with the above setting, two-finger scrolling and two-finger
right-clicking stops working completely. Even when both fingers are in
the active area (top 3 quarters).
This bug only seems to occur when I mask out the bottom of the
"Synaptics Area". Masking out the left, top or right does not trigger
the bug and multi-touch continues to work.
Going back to default settings makes two-finger scrolling and clicking work
again:
xinput set-prop bcm5974 "Synaptics Area" 0 0 0 0
