[SOLVED] GNOME doesn't detect right click on touchpad

Hi,

I have a new Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 6 and installed Arch with GNOME. Unfortunately the right click on the touchpad isn't working/detected (the trackpad is disabled in the BIOS). I'm using Wayland and the libinput driver. The command "libinput list-devices" shows this:

Device:           SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
Kernel:           /dev/input/event16
Group:            9
Seat:             seat0, default
Size:             70x50mm
Capabilities:     pointer gesture
Tap-to-click:     disabled
Tap-and-drag:     enabled
Tap drag lock:    disabled
Left-handed:      disabled
Nat.scrolling:    disabled
Middle emulation: disabled
Calibration:      n/a
Scroll methods:   *two-finger edge 
Click methods:    *button-areas clickfinger 
Disable-w-typing: enabled
Accel profiles:   none
Rotation:         n/a

It doesn't seems like a drive problem, because "libinput debug-events" is able to detect the right click:

 event16  POINTER_BUTTON    +3.31s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
 event16  POINTER_BUTTON    +3.54s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
 event16  POINTER_BUTTON    +4.54s	BTN_LEFT (272) pressed, seat count: 1
 event16  POINTER_BUTTON    +4.72s	BTN_LEFT (272) released, seat count: 0

Has anyone an idea whats wrong configured?

Edit: Using a two finger tap to emulate a right click works, but not tapping/clicking in the lower right corner of the touchpad.

Thanks!

Maybe the title of that topic should be adjusted to contain GNOME, but that's likely the issue you are running into
