Description Peter Hutterer 2019-06-04 04:50:47 UTC

Description of problem:
Wacom Intuos Pro tablets are essentially external touchpads, but they do not have any physical buttons. Tap-to-click is essential on those, otherwise one can't really use them for anything.

GNOME disables tapping on touchpads by default, but that includes devices that cannot afford that. Tapping should be enabled on those devices.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutter-3.28.3-18.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Install RHEL8, start a Wayland session, try to tap on the Wacom tablet. Nothing happens, but enabling tap-to-click in the control center makes it work.

Comment 3 Carlos Garnacho 2019-12-13 22:50:17 UTC

Fixed in 3.32.2-23

Comment 5 Michael Boisvert 2019-12-17 16:19:12 UTC

While testing a clean installation of RHEL8.2 with mutter-3.32.2-26.el8.x86_64, I noticed tap-to-click is not enabled by default and tapping on a Wacom Intuos Pro yielded no click.

Comment 7 Carlos Garnacho 2020-02-13 22:37:40 UTC

There is a fixup to these changes in 3.32.2-28.

Comment 10 Michael Boisvert 2020-02-18 16:31:27 UTC

Tap to Click is not enabled by default on a Wayland session of RHEL8.2 on mutter-3.32.2-29.el8.x86_64.rpm, using an Intuos Pro Gen2.

Comment 11 Carlos Garnacho 2020-02-21 22:44:16 UTC

I can confirm changing the setting results in tablets being changed too. Tap-to-click does work later on, by just replugging the tablet or across shell restarts.

That is fixed now too.

Comment 13 Michael Boisvert 2020-02-25 15:16:35 UTC

Verified on mutter-3.32.2-33.el8.x86_64.rpm. Tap-to-click is enabled by default on Wacom devices without any settings change.
