This bug is only a problem when there is multitouch geis/grail code active, which is unity. When there is no such multitouch code active then the "normal" 3 finger click support in Xorg works. So the bug does not happen in regular Gnome (Ubuntu Classic) and KDE. If Unity-2D is safe too then that's good news.
Note the simple workaround that Alex mentioned in the Bug Description, so you can kind-of use middle click in Unity still. Also note, you can a full fix for natty from ppa:vanvugt/unity https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/unity That is the fix currently being discussed and refined for release. -- 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/754000 Title: 3 finger touch interferes with 3 finger click (middle click) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/754000/+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
