Title:
  The "areas" click-method doesn't work with "SynPS/2 Synaptics
  TouchPad" on "Clevo N141ZU" laptop

Status in xserver-xorg-input-libinput package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm trying to switch from the "fingers" click-method to the "areas"
  click-method, because tapping with three fingers is awkward and I find
  that my three-fingers taps are rarely registered as such.

  * "fingers": single-finger tap for a click, two-finger tap for a right
    click, three-finger tap for a middle click
  * "areas": tap in the lower right corner for a right click, tap in the
    upper right corner for a middle click

  After running the following command:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method \ 
    "'areas'"

  I can verify with gsettings get... that the click-method is now
  "areas", however tapping in the lower/upper right corners of the
  touchpad does not elicit the expected right/middle clicks, whereas
  tapping with two fingers elicits a right click. This remains the case
  even after rebooting the computer. It's as if the click-method was
  ignored and defaulted to "fingers".

  I couldn't find any similar bug reports and don't know how to
  investigate this problem further. I assume this problem is specific to
  my hardware, otherwise it would have been noticed already. I attach
  the output of the following commands:

    cat /proc/bus/input/devices
    xinput --list
    xinput --list-props 13  # where 13 is the touchpad's ID

  Should I report this issue to upstream libinput
  (www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput)? Or could this be
  something to do with GNOME instead?

  Using Ubuntu 20.04 with libinput 1.15.5-1 and xserver-xorg-input-
  libinput 0.29.0-1.
