[Bug 430832] [NEW] [Jaunty] Upgrade 8.10->9.04: Double click works in xterm but not firefox or gtk application

[Craig Harding]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

Since upgrading from 8.10 I've had a few issues with the synaptics
touchpad.

I added SHMConfig support using this method
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Enabling%20SHMConfig).

Since then I've been trying for over a day to adjust my touchpad
settings using synclient from the command line. Once thing I have
noticed is that double clicking a word within xterm works ok but doing
the same action in pidgin or firefox does not work. If I triple click a
word, it finally highlights the word but then clicks off the word (as it
should).

If I try to double click on a word in firefox or pidgin, I cannot
highlight that word.

I have used the ubuntu-bug report tool so extra information should be
attached.
