Public bug reported:
I am on Ubuntu 14.04; my Laptop is an Acer Aspire v5-573;
Expected: when right clicking by double tapping I expect the double
click to succeed even if each of the fingers touches the pad with a
slight separation of time.
What happens: it is extremely hard to right click, especially after
completing a pointer movement. many times the right click is mistakenly
confused with a regular one click tap. I have tried to practice and come
to the conclusion that the right click requires too much precision in
the tapping in the sense that both fingers need to tap almost exactly at
the same time. also, doing it "slowly" does not help, the taps are not
recognized as such.
This simply requires some tweaking of the underlying config values. I
would be happy to test, modify them myself if given some ideas on which
values to tamper with. Hopefully they are in some xml file and do not
require recompiling the drivers.
Thanks.
