Touchpad is not behaving as it used to be, at least not to what I've been accustomed to.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I'd expect that the touchpad's behavior would be similiar to the standard touchpad behavior, at least some/most of them.

However, nothing works that way:

Tried on both of my Lenovo and Asus laptops.

Is it only me or it is happening to you as well?

Did you enable tap-to-click? – Hi-Angel Nov 01 '21 at 21:24
That might be what I'm missing @Hi-Angel, how pls? – xpt Nov 01 '21 at 21:38
@Pilot6, are you running Live-CD 20.04 as-is, or your own system? – xpt Nov 01 '21 at 21:39
Yes, I ran a 20.04 LiveUSB on many systems. It is not guaranteed that multitouch support works on every hardware. Some touchpads are not supported yet. – Pilot6 Nov 01 '21 at 21:44

@xpt I assume you're using Gnome. It should be somewhere in settings, but you can also enable from a terminal like this – Hi-Angel Nov 02 '21 at 06:30

Ah, in settings it is at path: Mouse & touchpad → Tap to Click – Hi-Angel Nov 02 '21 at 06:32
