I noticed that my touchpad does not register tap events
anymore. It worked fine a few days ago. Most of the time I
use a USB mouse so I did not notice the exact date when it
went missing but it worked fine about a week or so ago.
The touchpad settings went missing in Gnome mouse & touchpad settings window to. Is it possible that the touchpad is now registered as a mouse? Which package is responsible for this? Two-finger scrolling still works. I checked which packages was upgraded in the last week but I did not see any obvious culprit. I tried to downgrade the kernel and libinput but none of them brought back tap-to-click. Another user posted about the issue on the BBS with an entirely different type of touchpad (Synaptics vs Elantech): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214382 Relevant libinput-list-devices output, tap to click is clearly disabled, but what disables it and why?

I'm open to experiment with downgrades but I don't know which package to choose. |

The touchpad worked fine before this ugprade:
[2016-06-15 18:13] [ALPM] upgraded xf86-input-synaptics (1.8.3-2 -> 1.8.99.1-1)
If this is not considered a bug then the issue can be closed.
