Hi Oxwivi, thanks for correcting me. I didn't have access to a touchpad
that supports multi-finger taps, so I couldn't try three-finger taps
myself.

My touchpad can support multi-finger taps, and I assure you, three-finger
tap for middle-click does NOT work. Only the top-right corner tap does.

This bug concerns middle click - but a similar point surely applies to
right click. Logically it would make sense if the following is correct:

If you have a touchpad and "Tap to click" is turned on then:

1. If your touchpad supports multi-finger taps, middle-click by tapping
with three fingers at once otherwise middle-click by tapping once in the
top right corner.

2. If your touchpad supports multi-finger taps, right-click by tapping
with two fingers at once, otherwise right-click by tapping once in the
bottom right corner.

[Bug 1617718] Re: Desktop Guide Middle-click Tips & tricks outdated

[clissold345]

I did a few internet searches to try to find out more info. On a forum
one user reports (May 2012) that tap at the bottom right corner = Right
click and tap at the top right corner = Middle click (this will be for a
particular type of touchpad). But of course we can't document what works
for one particular user! I think we need Canonical to confirm what taps
do what for which types of touchpad (and that will be for how it works
in Ubuntu 17.04, since we're not going to change the desktop help for
16.10 and earlier).

Had hoped that the upstream page would provide some guidance, but it
does not. This will have to wait until post yakkety.
