Tap-to-click has stopped working. I don't know when it stopped working. I'm using Kubuntu 22.04.
The touchpad works fine for normal cursor navigation and scrolling. The touchpad buttons do work, but they are clunky and loud compared to the tap-to-click option.
Boxes are checked in KDE's GUI settings that should enable the feature:
xinput list yields:
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
The output from xinput --watch-props 12 indicates that tapping is NOT enabled, despite what the GUI settings show.
Is there some other enabling that needs to be done?
Here is the output from xinput --watch-props 12:
