I have Xubuntu, 12.04 (precise), running on a Sony Vaio VGN-NW230G, with
Alps PS/2 GlidePoint. Using the touchpad only.
The 1.5 tap to drag works *only* when there is *motion* during the
second tap, but does *not* work when you do an in-place (no motion) 1.5
tap. The 2.5 tap in-place and with-motion does work, however. Summary
I've found is below.
PROBLEM: Use case #3 should be handled if case #1 is handled. So, if
you solve case #1, case #3 remain working. Case #1 is very important
for any graphics work, as well as gaming, or even simple window
management. Case #1 is the easiest of the tap-to-drag motions, but is
the one that is not working.
CASE #1:
1.5 tap in-place means: finger-down, finger-up, finger-down (no horiz/vert
motion in finger during the finger-down).
- BUG: This does not register at all (like nothing happened). Use
case is where you want to move a graphic item by some small amount from
it's current position. You should be able to initiate the drag ("locked
drag"?) without any motion, and then start dragging after the object has
been "grabbed". Currently I cannot.
CASE #2:
2.5 tap in-place means: finger-down, finger-up, finger-down, finger-up,
finger-down (no horiz/vert motion in finger during the finger-down).
- OK: This works. Use case is where you want to select text by whole
words.
CASE #3:
1.5 tap with-motion means: finger-down, finger-up, slide-finger (with
horiz/vert motion during finger-down).
- OK: This works. Use case is same as case #1, except that the user is
hurrying or does not care about small relative position change for
dragged item.
CASE #4:
2.5 tap with-motion means: finger-down, finger-up, finger-down, finger-up,
slide-finger (with horiz/vert motion during finger-down).
- OK: This works. Use case is same as #2, but more rushed.
