I can verify what Sebastien has written. I made the change to synaptics to default to locked tap-and-drag. It was a requested feature by people with clickpad devices because it was very difficult to click and drag before.

I am monitoring feedback from users about this and other changes. If many people find it to be a problem, we can consider reverting it. I'm merely trying to weigh the benefits and advantages.

I hope to merge better clickpad support late this week or early next through a feature freeze exception. If that lands, we can probably revert this change as clickpad users will have a more natural option for clicking and dragging beyond the size of the trackpad.
