Hello everyone,

first bug I file, just wanted to say thanks for all your work!!

The bug:
When setting option ClickMethod to "buttonarea", a right click will not be
registered when I have another finger placed on the left button area.
That means, the first finger is lying on the left area and I just click on the
right area with another finger.

Might be the same the other way round, finger lying on the right area and a
click on the left.

When clicking on a multi-touch enabled touchpad, the click should always be
registered. But in this case it will either be a left-click or none at all.
It should be a right-click!
The click, when happening on a multi-touch-pad, should trigger the correct
event depending on where the clicking finger is positioned.

For me that would feel natural. I don't know if it is possible to detect which
finger is the clicking one - if not, the clicking finger is probably the last
one placed on the touchpad. This might also be questionable, so having an
option to customize this is probably be nice-to-have (IMHO).

I was working on a Fujitsu Lifebook S904 with Ubuntu 15.04 (now upgraded to
15.10, still not working).
Libinput came from here and is up-to-date:

Thank you again!
