The release notes say "all touchpads".
That's wrong, I think it's supposed to only affect clickpads
Near as I can tell that's what I have.
Might be the 'firmware click emulation' thing, if I'm right about that. I guess who-t could explain.
"clickpads" are touchpads that don't have their own buttons but they have a hinge where you depress the whole touchpad. Those touchpads only have a left button, the right button is emulated in libinput based on the finger count, the finger positions and a combination of hope and despair. The libinput doc has pretty pictures. Well, pictures: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/clickpad_softbuttons.htm...
Chris: the previous gsetting was 'default' so if you ever changed it manually to 'areas' in the past (e.g. for debugging something), the change to a different default wouldn't affect you because you already have your own setting already. I strongly suspect that's the case for you, run this to verify: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method If it says 'areas', you changed it at some point in the past.
