Ah! I think I'm getting a handle on this. I think the right-click must have gotten more sensitive to movement during the attempt to click. Right-click works sometimes now, but I have to hold both my fingers really really still as I push down the trackpad.
This is compounded by another problem I've been having, where right- clicking in a scrollable pane (usually Nautilus or Chromium) causes the pane to scroll up by a certain, seemingly fixed distance just before the click takes effect. So I often end up right-clicking on the wrong link, wrong file etc. This happens even if I'm very careful to hold my fingers still, but it only happens once. If I right-click again in the same pane, even if there's plenty of room left to scroll, it doesn't jump again. Maybe this movement is also upsetting right-click attempts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/957699 Title: [bcm5974] Right-click no longer working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/957699/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
