Description:
After an update on 2018-08-20 (or maybe a few days earlier), the touchpad no longer has a Click Method property. I don't know which package could have caused this, libinput was not updated. I have attached the output of 'cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep -i upgraded' from 2018-08-08 to 2018-08-20.

I'm using a Thinkpad T480s, the touchpad is listed as "Elan Touchpad" by xinput. Before the update, it was listed as something longer but similar (it still had both Elan and Touchpad in its name).


Additional info:
libinput package version: 1.11.3-1
xf86-input-libinput package version: 0.28.0-1


Steps to reproduce:
xinput list-props "pointer:Elan Touchpad" | grep -i click (nothing is printed)

This was fixed just as suddenly as it was broken. I can confirm it works as expected again.
