In Unity a design decision has been made that three and four finger
gestures are reserved for the shell. For example, any time you put three
touches down on a multitouch trackpad you can start draging the window
around (assuming it's not full screen). The only way to implement this
behavior is to
Chase,
Just a suggestion: If this is the future, it might be best to set the
two finger tap to middle click by default, at least on systems with
physical buttons. The rationale on this is that right-clicks are easy to
do through other mechanisms (right button or menu key), while middle-
clicks
Sigh.
Clicking is not a gesture. That is my opinion. And three-finger clicks
can be made to co-exist with all the current gestures in Unity as my fix
(above) shows.
The fix I proposed in June is nearly perfect. Certainly it seems perfect
on Mac hardware and just needs some minor tweaking to
Also, something I noticed earlier this year in Unity that is probably
still true:
Unity treats touch as a gesture. touch probably should never be a
gesture. Responding to tap and drag is enough to control the
appearance of the grab handles.
If you remove Unity's sensitivity to all initial touch
Hi Ian,
I understand the sentiment, but such a change would cause untold number
of complaints from users who are used to two-tap being right click :).
It would be a huge behavior change, so I don't think we would do it.
BTW, I think you may be able to change the mapping of number of touches
to
Well the workaround mentioned doesn't work for me I'm afraid.
As for a full fix for natty, I don't get this fix in natty. I can use 3
finger middle-click there too.

switch to KDE.
I don't think using Gnome shell or Unity 2D work around this issue,

@ Ian,
I didn't think you were being sarcastic as this is a very frustrating issue for
people who are used to the normal 3 finger middle-click behaviour.
But yes, neither gnome shell or unity 2d suffer from this problem (at
least they didn't last time I checked a couple of weeks ago), it is only
This bug is only a problem when there is multitouch geis/grail code
active, which is unity. When there is no such multitouch code active
then the normal 3 finger click support in Xorg works. So the bug does
not happen in regular Gnome (Ubuntu Classic) and KDE. If Unity-2D is
safe too then that's
So will this fix make it into oneric? As it stands unity is pretty
unusable for anyone that uses a touchpad and expects middle click to
work...
Middle click is essential for me as mentioned above for closing tabs
ect...

Well yes, also using windows, gnome shell or unity 2d also workaround the
problem.
Having said that, they have their own issues but this 3 finger tap problem is
one of the major factors in my decision to use KDE for the foreseeable future

Interesting to see the button events using the command xinput test

reported incorrectly as button #1 being pressed and released. Without

Just want to confirm, and point out that with the Apple Magic Trackpad,
there is NO workaround, and therefore no middle-click.
This bug should perhaps be retitled - No middle-click for multitouch

to disable the three-finger
