closing this again, was pushed as outlined in comment #27 and that behaviour has been unchanged for 6 years now. if you still want the extra finger counting please open a new bug but I should point out that it's unlikely to be implement for synaptics. libinput has that feature already, probably better to use that then.

As a result, when I try to perform click by pressing the bottom edge of the touchpad I get both a click and a movement. This often causes the click to take place after the movement thus causing me to click on the wrong icon, button, etc. The driver should allow the deactivation of the area over the physical buttons.
