I think this is just the touchpad, though I don't have a mouse to test this with so it could also be affecting the mouse or a wider range of settings. But I have found that after upgrading to GNOME 3.20 on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 that all my gsettings for things like natural scrolling and tap to click are being ignored and it doesn't matter what I have them set to, they are doing what they like. I have also seen others experiencing the same issues.

This is what dconf-editor shows me the settings are set to:

And yet even though the tap to click option is set to 'false', my touchpad is acting as though it has been set to 'true' ever since the upgrade, same for natural scrolling. As I have said, these are the only settings that I have noticed this with, however I have not really tested it with any of the others so I cannot say for sure how many settings this issue affects.

I initially reported this issue here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsettings-desktop-schemas/+bug/1586657

This appears to be a downstream issue and is solved by installing xserver-xorg-input-libinput.

I understand now that this issue affects all distros using GNOME and not just Ubuntu so I am reopening this bug as I am confused whether this is an upstream or a downstream issue then. I expect that you will know how to deal with this correctly.

This is a distro bug. Since GNOME 3.20, we do not support the evdev Xorg driver configuration in gnome-settings-daemon. Instead, and since 3.16 both the Xorg and Wayland libinput configurations are set by mutter.
