--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The UI is trying to hide a bit of complexity from you. The way it works under
the hood is as follows:

With the Libinput library's "Clickfinger" click mode, you right-click by
pressing down on the pad with two fingers (or three fingers, of one of the
fingers is a thumb at the bottom of the pad), and you middle-click  pressing
down on the pad with three fingers (or four fingers, of one of the fingers is a
thumb at the bottom of the pad).

With the Libinput library's "Areas" click mode, you right-click by pressing
down with your thumb on the bottom-right corner of the pad, and you
middle-click by pressing down with your thumb on the bottom-middle of the pad,
which a lot of people find confusing and want to turn off.

To turn it off, you use "Clickfinger" mode. We don't have another way to turn
it off because this behavior comes from the Libinput library itself and it
doesn't give us a knob to turn to affect it without changing the click method
setting.

The UI in this page hides all of that from you because nobody would want to
read the essay explaining it. :)
