You have been subscribed to a public bug: After upgrading my middle click doesn't work. I have a Lenovo Ideapad s10-3t which has a tiny touchpad. I used to press the middle area of the lower edge to get a middle click, to, i.e. close Firefox tabs, open links in new tabs and most importantly: Use the cut buffer to copy and paste.
I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/mouse-middleclick.html and it recommends three finger tapping (I can't change that behaviour anyway, can I? The mouse settings dialouge doesn't allow me specify whether I want to have three finger tapping for middle click). Anyway, according to xinput, my touchpad only recognises two fingers: ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] Reporting 8 classes: Class originated from: 14.

I can get my behaviour back by doing "synclinent EmulateMidButtonTime=75". I expected Ubuntu to not have that regression in first place, then a way to tell Ubuntu whether I want (or can) use three finger tap and then activate that option mentioned above automatically if I only have a two finger touchpad.
