RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.


Additional info:
Upstream bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/410

Fixed in 3.32.2-23

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
