Bug Description
Just got a new laptop with one of the infamous "ClickPads," been playing around for a couple hours to get the thing to work decently.
After enabling Option "AreaBottomEdge" "82%", I finally got it to ignore movement in the "button" areas, but if I put my finger down in that 18% area first, the top 82% of the touchpad ignores any movement from a second finger. This makes it difficult to perform a click and drag operation.
Inversely, if I touch in the top 82% first, then click on the 18% bottom button area, then I still get cursor movement from the top area.
It's a workaround I suppose, but not ideal. Still debating about sending this laptop back and buying something from 2011 to meet my "netbook" requirements
