<pre>tbh, this isn't something fixable. we do (in most cases) know the positions of
the finger but we also use the bottom area for middle button emulation, so if
you have two fingers down, one in each area you get a middle click instead.
it is also really difficult to guess which button event to send when you have
two fingers down and one moved. The touchpad only gives us the location data of
each finger and a click event, it doesn't tell us which finger caused the click
event. we tend to bias towards the left button here because it's a much more
common interaction, especially moving the cursor towards the bottom right and
then clicking with a finger should usually cause a left button event.
so yeah, not something we can fix unfortunately, mainly because we cannot
identify the "clicking finger". this bugzilla doesn't have a CANTFIX
resolution, so I'll have to close it as WONTFIX</pre>
