My new Acer Laptop just arrived (A315-51-5647) and after installing Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 I'm having problems with the touchpad. For some minutes it worked fine, but now when I left right click it acts as if I left clicked. Once in a while it works normally, but 99% of the time it's bugged. I didn't install any exotic package or made any suspicious configuration (on the touchpad I only switched from two finger to edge scrolling and turned off natural scrolling). With a USB mouse it works fine. I tried everything I could to no avail, please help and thanks already!
EDIT: Even if I switch the primary button to the right button both work as primary buttons.
When I xinput --list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
