Public bug reported:
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.
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.
