Touchpad inconsistencies with tool selection

[ygoe]

When I use a mouse to click on a tool with the left button, it will be activated. Clicking with the right button shows a context menu with all the overloads of the toolbutton.

On a touchpad on a laptop, tapping with one finger is the same as a left mouse button click. It behaves the same everywhere. But in Affinity Designer, slight tapping/touching (not hard clicking) opens the context menu on the toolbutton. As if I were right-clicking. But that would only be the case when I tap/touch with two fingers. But I'm sure I use only one finger.

So it seems like Affinity can look behind the click event and figure out that I was tapping instead of clicking. Could you please stop that and use my tap default left click again? I usually only tap with one finger instead of pushing down the bottom left area of the touchpad to click. Selecting a tool is more complicated with this buggy behaviour.

Hi @ygoe,

I would also expect the single finger tap gesture to select the tool immediately instead of bringing out the context menu similar to other apps, this also doesn't appear to affect the MacBook trackpads. I've now logged this with the developers.
