Button Zones do not work when thumb is resting on trackpad

@xavierhd : af41676

So it was done on purpose: earliest was replaced with latest.

[xavierhd]

I can reproduce. It is because the click event is binded to the lowest valid touch instead of the latest.

Better late than never.

@es92 if you still exist, can you try this patch 5fba330?

[xavierhd]

@p2rkw Is there a reason the current behavior is used?

[xavierhd]

I think that the idea may have been right in 2013, but the current situation is broken.
Like the originator of the change made in af41676 state in rynbrd/xf86-input-mtrack#44:

This is wrong, the touch that clicked is usually the latest, so the driver should use it.

The reason the lowest was used is because the lowest is:

The finger most likely to be in the button click area.

But since we can now manage button area separately, this is not needed anymore.
Edit:
Separately -> see #72

You and they where right, i tested for a week the latest behavior using the 5fba330 patch...
It is awful to use 😞
You should close this.
