As Launchpad has _not_ been updated to track GNOME bugs which have been migrated to GitLab, I'm posting an upstream bug which can also be tracked for this issue:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/325 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #785855 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785855 ** Also affects: gdm via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785855 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Description changed: I've observed many end-users who are confused by the lack of ability to "Tap-to-Click" on their touchpads at the login screen after boot(and screen-lock?). Most---if not all, of these users are migrating from MS - Windows or another system which does prevent this technique. + Windows or another system which does _not_ prevent this technique. In accord with the old axiom: “You Never Get A Second Chance to Make a First Impression” – Will Rogers Let's not let this be the first negative experience that converts and first-timers run into! Tap-to-click on touchpads is enabled and works normally during the Ubiquity installer. I'm not sure if libinput is to blame, but I do notice that I frequently have to enable the tap-to-click function in gnome-settings after first login.
