Hi

I suspect this is the same issue as here

en.community.dell.com/.../19992924:550:0

It would be nice if this were solved. (bug is present in ubuntu 16.04). Meanwhile in this post there is a workaround.

Hi 

sorry for the link, I don't know what happened to my copy-paste ;)

Anyway here it is

en.community.dell.com/.../19992924

The title of the thread is "3 finger tap middle button stopped working (XPS 13 9350 - 14.04)", so you can also google this.
