Are there any plans on some sort of fix for this? I'm really hoping there's something workable by 12.04. I'd imagine ubuntu currently has significantly more touchpad users than touchscreen users and they should not have significant missing functionality missing, especially for an LTS release.
Would some sort of option in CCSM be a possibility? Or automatic detection of a touchpad that could enable this? Seems a bit odd that as mentioned above disabling the offending plugin still doesn't seem help things. Disabling the plugin isn't something I can test though, as a separate bug in the synaptics driver (mentioned above I believe) is also causing trouble with 3 finger taps without unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) Status in Mactel Support: Confirmed Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in uTouch: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Xorg fails to recognize a 3-finger click as a middle-button-click when Unity is running and instead thinks it's a left-click. This bug only happens in Unity 3D. It does not happen with Unity 2D or Gnome Shell. Please note this bug is about physically "clicking" a clickpad with 3 fingers. 3 finger tapping is different and has been intentionally overridden in Unity 3D by new gestures.
