SUMMARY My costume Settings > Input devices > Touchpad get reset after every reboot of my system. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect an Apple Magic Trackpad via Bluetooth to the computer 2. Go to Settings > Input devices > Touchpad and 3. e.g. activate "Tapping: Tap-to-click" ✔️ & "Two-finger tap: Middle-click (three-finger tap right-click) ✔️ 4. reboot the system https://imgur.com/a/0NpDswg OBSERVED RESULT Visually the check boxes under Settings > Input devices > Touchpad are either still checked as if they were activated or completely greyed out (so you can't even check them) but in either case they are not applied in reality! Two-finger tap reverts back to the default: Right-click. Greyed out check boxes: https://imgur.com/a/IFaz5n8 EXPECTED RESULT The settings under Settings > Input devices > Touchpad are still applied after a reboot: visually as well as in reality. Two-finger tap should in my case still be mapped to Middle-click (three-finger tap right-click) ✔️ SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.19.4-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.97.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This could be related to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448951 or https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435113
I noticed that if I go back to the Settings > Input devices > Touchpad after a reboot and activate activate "Tapping: Tap-to-click" ✔️ & "Two-finger tap: Middle-click (three-finger tap right-click) ✔️again and then press Apply the settings will get applied but both check boxes are visually immediately deactivated again. https://imgur.com/a/zSCikO0
Also as per this comment: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435113#c1 from @Nate Graham: So: - After rebooting my settings are not applied anymore. - When I apply them again ("Tapping: Tap-to-click" ✔️ & "Two-finger tap: Middle-click (three-finger tap right-click) ✔️) the settings work again in reality - although not visually. - When I enter `sudo udevadm trigger -s input` the settings immediately stop working again (as if I had restarted my system). So maybe I have two different problems: the `sudo udevadm trigger -s input` / reboot one and the one that in the same session after applying the settings they are immediately (visually only!) disabled again.

Created attachment 151724 [details] tap settings immateriality greyed out after applying
Thank you for your reply! > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 411114 *** I think this is what happens after a reboot, but what about the part that the settings get *immateriality* visually disabled after clicking apply and greyed out again? 411114 only talks about after sleep/wakeup etc... I added a small GIF as attachment (and uploaded it to imgur) showing this part of my bug report. https://imgur.com/a/IiU0Tuo
