"tuned for Mac users" is incorrect, as is the term "normal touchpads" to refer to personal preference, as is the assertion that people didn't ask for the feature.

If there is paint on the touchpad of some specific laptop model designating fake buttons, we can't detect that in software. Corner clicking is also a bad idea for usability because it forces the user to look at the touchpad in order to know which virtual button they are clicking. Using two fingers however does not require looking at the touchpad, only feeling that both fingers are on it. That all said, a fix for the discoverability of the setting is planned for a future release: https://trello.com/c/i3JvebJ9 which will be enough to make everyone happy, regardless of the default setting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gsettings-desktop-schemas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759300 Title: Gnome Shell: Touchpad right click (bottom right) area does not work Status in gsettings-desktop-schemas package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The right (second) touchpad click does not work.
