Bug description

• Cinnamon version: 5.8.4
• Distribution: Linux Mint 21.2
• Hardware: Lenovo X1 Yoga (2nd Gen) convertible laptop

Greetings,

after updating to the latest Cinnamon version, the one that introduces gestures, there no longer is any way to emulate a right-click using the touchscreen. I am specifically referring to the screen, not the touchpad. Everything else works, all the gestures work, but using my finger on the touchscreen there is no way to do a right click action. Two fingers, touching and holding one finger, etc nothing creates a right-click event. There are also no settings in the gesture configuration related to right clicking.

The problem exists regardless of whether gestures are activated in the gesture configuration or not. This means effectively when in tablet mode you can never use any right click action.

Steps to reproduce

• Touch display with two fingers
• Touch display with one finger and hold
• Touch display with one finger, hold and add second finger

Expected behavior

One of the above mentioned standard actions should register as a right click.

Additional information

No response

The report names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the three listed touchscreen sequences on the specified Lenovo X1 Yoga setup, with gestures enabled and disabled. Done means at least one standard touchscreen action consistently produces a right-click event in tablet mode.
