Touchpad buttons don't work anymore since last upgrade

Hello,

I just upgraded the system through Pacman and now the buttons on my touchpad don't work anymore (my laptop is a Thinkpad). I still can use the multi-touch on the touchpad so I can simulate the secondary button through a two fingers touch, but I'm not very keen to use it like this.

Do you know if I have something to configure somewhere? Or which is the package to downgrade before waiting for the fix? Should I downgrade to the previous Linux kernel?

My system:

Linux: 4.14.8-1-ARCH
Computer: Thinkpad T450s

Thank you,

TidyKoala

Re: Touchpad buttons don't work anymore since last upgrade

I decided to downgrade the linux kernel to the previous one and it resolved my issue:

I did the following:

cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
pacman -U linux-4.14.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz linux-headers-4.14.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 

Now the buttons on my touchpad work again
