There is no reason to be rude here. I was not vague at all, i merely made the assumption that you read the file you suggested other people read in regards to re-enabling tap-clicking, which I stated did not work for me.

No, I was not aware that it defaults to mac touchpad behavior, but considering I am not using a mac touch pad, I am rather displeased that it's behavior is being forced on me by default.

Yes, I am aware that there is no way to detect a "painted scrollbar" on my touchpad, however, all laptops I've owned have had this painted scrollbar, and up until now that area on the touchpad has worked as a scroller. Granted, mentioning it was not very useful in any respect, but it was first thing in the morning and I decided to mention it, though I did so in parenthesis to suggest it was a personal note.

Considering no "official" has stepped in to decide whether or not this is a bug, or just new behavior we are supposed to accept as the new standard, I am going to continue treating it like a bug. If there is a way to restore behavior, perhaps you could have mentioned it rather that berate me after I pasted the corresponding information you asked me for? I would think that more people are eventually going to notice this behavior and wish to restore it, so sharing that information would be a nice thing to do, especially for those of us, myself included, who weren't aware that the behavior was completely "changed".
