    Very annoying touchpad problem <workaround found>

    I had the default touchpad driver installed and this worked ok but with very limited functionality. I installed the Synaptic driver and this improved the touchpads functionality no end but it's left me with a very frustrating problem. I am now unable to tap on things > For example if I am in Firefox and want to change tabs I can't tap on the tab, I now have to click on it or if I'm editing a document I now cannot tap on a word, I have to click on it. This is really annoying especially as it worked fine with the default driver. I have tapping enabled in the Synaptic settings but this doesn't work.
    Anyone know what the setting for this is??

    Here's my current settings, anyone see why tap-to-click does not function?
    Code:
    ~$ synclient -l
    Parameter settings:
      LeftEdge       = 1471

    This might be a bug as the behavior seems odd to me. I've followed it up with this post:

      Run command (Alt-F2) 'ksynaptics'
      Go to tapping tap and tick the enable tapping box.

        I have this already enabled but still no joy. I got a workaround to the problem that I posted in the link in the previous post.
