Ah! I think I'm getting a handle on this. I think the right-click must have gotten more sensitive to movement during the attempt to click. Right-click works sometimes now, but I have to hold both my fingers really really still as I push down the trackpad.
This is compounded by another problem I've been having, where right- clicking in a scrollable pane (usually Nautilus or Chromium) causes the pane to scroll up by a certain, seemingly fixed distance just before the click takes effect. So I often end up right-clicking on the wrong link, wrong file etc. This happens even if I'm very careful to hold my fingers still, but it only happens once. If I right-click again in the same pane, even if there's plenty of room left to scroll, it doesn't jump again. Maybe this movement is also upsetting right-click attempts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/957699 Title: [bcm5974] Right-click no longer working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/957699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
