Description Frank Griffin 2017-02-23 16:38:31 CET 
When tap-to-click is enabled and the mouse cursor is positioned on a tappable field and left unmoved for a few seconds, tapping produces no result.  If the mouse cursor is moved slightly within the same field, tapping then produces the expected response.

Comment 2 Frank Griffin 2017-03-20 19:36:59 CET 
It was still failing on current cauldron as of two days ago after a reboot, but it appears to be working on today's current cauldron after a reboot.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 3 Frank Griffin 2017-03-20 19:47:41 CET 
Well, almost.  It used to fail everywhere.  Now it only fails in Thunderbird (that I can tell).  Specifically, it used to fail in Firefox, and works now.

From the different slider click behaviors in the two (reported in another bug), this could be due to FF using GTK3 and TB using GTK2.

Redirecting to TB.

Comment 4 Frank Griffin 2017-04-23 21:13:59 CEST 
My mistake.  This is still happening in both FF and TB, as well as elsewhere.  To reproduce, enable tap-to-click, then move the cursor to a clickable field, leave it immobile for a second or so, and try to tap.  You'll get no response, but if you move the cursor slightly in the field and tap again, it will respond normally.

I've verified that this is unique to tap-to-click.  Actually using the left mouse button under the same circumstances works every time.
Comment 6 Frank Griffin 2018-06-24 05:09:43 CEST 
This is still happening consistently.  Ping ?
Comment 7 Frank Griffin 2019-02-19 19:32:59 CET 
Still happening consistently.
