If you go into the Gnome mouse configuration, do you have tap-to-click
turned on for the touchpad? For right-click, are you trying to click on
a certain spot or are you using two fingers? The multi-finger right and
middle click work for me on the laptops I use. If you have it turned on
and it still doesn't work, then file a bug on libinput and see what they
suggest.
The 2-finger tap for right-click seems to work if I turn that on, and for fun I checked 3-finger tap also... which apparently performs middle click. Also, on a whim, I ended up changing the "click-method" from the default of "fingers" to "areas" (the opposite of many blog posts I read said to do), which works with the regular button press using:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'areas'
Apparently, there's no UI for that setting... you just have to know to set it. *shrug*
Thanks!
