Just tried on the touchpad of my Dell XPS L502x (2012 model). Its touchpad has physical left and right buttons. They work fine with the webbrowser app. The touchpad right click over a link opens a dialog, just like with the mouse.
Maybe it's a hardware-specific issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1603183 Title: Right click from touchpad is handled as a left click Status in Mir: New Status in mir package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity8-desktop-session package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Using the touchpad I was not able to trigger any right click, and I tought it was a problem of how unity8 handled the right clicks. Instead I just tried with a mouse and right click trigger different actions from left clicks. In the end the problem is that my touchpad right click is considered a left click by the system. This does not happen with an usb mouse.
