Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch) Release: 18.04
I upgraded from 17.10 to 18.04 and found that the settings to swap the buttons for left-hand usage is not working and the buttons stay the same, i.e. left button is primary and the right button is context. There is a report of the same issue on RedHat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476586 Running the following commands for libinput reveal that it is working correctly with left-hand setting enabled and pressing the left trackpad or mouse button is BTN_RIGHT and the right button is BTN_LEFT. $ xinput list-props 13 Device 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad': Device Enabled (142): 1 Coordinate Transformation Matrix (144): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 libinput Tapping Enabled (307): 1 libinput Tapping Enabled Default (308): 0 libinput Tapping Drag Enabled (309): 1 libinput Tapping Drag Enabled Default (310): 1 libinput Tapping Drag Lock Enabled (311): 0 libinput Tapping Drag Lock Enabled Default (312): 0 libinput Tapping Button Mapping Enabled (313): 1, 0 libinput Tapping Button Mapping Default (314): 1, 0 libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled (315): 1 libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled Default (316): 0 libinput Disable While Typing Enabled (317): 1 libinput Disable While Typing Enabled Default (318): 1 libinput Scroll Methods Available (319): 1, 1, 0 libinput Scroll Method Enabled (320): 1, 0, 0 libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (321): 1, 0, 0 libinput Click Methods Available (322): 1, 1 libinput Click Method Enabled (323): 0, 1 libinput Click Method Enabled Default (324): 1, 0 libinput Middle Emulation Enabled (325): 0 libinput Middle Emulation Enabled Default (326): 0 libinput Accel Speed (327): 0.000000 libinput Accel Speed Default (328): 0.000000 libinput Left Handed Enabled (329): 1 $sudo libinput debug-events --enable-left-handed -event2 DEVICE_ADDED Power Button seat0 default group1 cap:k -event5 DEVICE_ADDED Video Bus seat0 default group2 cap:k -event1 DEVICE_ADDED Lid Switch seat0 default group3 cap:S -event0 DEVICE_ADDED Sleep Button seat0 default group4 cap:k -event6 DEVICE_ADDED Wacom Pen and multitouch sensor Finger seat0 default group5 cap:t size 309x174mm calib -event7 DEVICE_ADDED Wacom Pen and multitouch sensor Pen seat0 default group5 cap:T size 309x174mm calib -event17 DEVICE_ADDED Integrated Camera: Integrated C seat0 default group6 cap:k -event10 DEVICE_ADDED HDA Intel PCH Mic seat0 default group7 cap: -event11 DEVICE_ADDED HDA Intel PCH Headphone seat0 default group7 cap: -event12 DEVICE_ADDED HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=3 seat0 default group7 cap: -event13 DEVICE_ADDED HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=7 seat0 default group7 cap: -event14 DEVICE_ADDED HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=8 seat0 default group7 cap: -event15 DEVICE_ADDED HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=9 seat0 default group7 cap: -event16 DEVICE_ADDED HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=10 seat0 default group7 cap: -event3 DEVICE_ADDED AT Translated Set 2 keyboard seat0 default group8 cap:k -event4 DEVICE_ADDED SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad seat0 default group9 cap:pg size 96x60mm tap(dl off) left scroll-nat scroll-2fg-edge click-buttonareas-clickfinger dwt-on -event8 DEVICE_ADDED TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint seat0 default group10 cap:p left scroll-nat scroll-button -event9 DEVICE_ADDED ThinkPad Extra Buttons seat0 default group11 cap:kS -event8 POINTER_BUTTON +2.81s BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1 event8 POINTER_BUTTON +2.94s BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0 event8 POINTER_BUTTON +4.56s BTN_LEFT (272) pressed, seat count: 1 event8 POINTER_BUTTON +4.69s BTN_LEFT (272) released, seat count: 0 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) => ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763339 Title: Mouse and trackpad buttons not swapping to left-handed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1763339/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
