Check the answer to this issue: [Right-click on Touchpad not working after update to 18.04 LTS](https://askubuntu.com/q/1028113/29012). – L. D. James Apr 27 '18 at 20:28

I'm sorry, I missed the tag, and was referring to the content of your title and message text. I'll vote to reopen your question, as well as research your **Touch Screen** issue. – L. D. James Apr 28 '18 at 13:13

This is touch screen details of your exact Laptop model: [Identify the entries of xinput](https://askubuntu.com/q/842670/29012). This is a question with answer for generic touch screen drivers: [How to Determine which is your TouchScreen Driver](https://askubuntu.com/q/346303/29012). Which drivers have you installed? – L. D.

There are two options as for now, both of them presented in following link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198715#c14
The first option is to patch kernel manually and install it on your system, I've tested it, it works for my HP Envy x360 15-bq121dx.
Another option is to patch acpi table, people in discussion in link above report successful result. I haven't tried this method yet.

Download GNOME Tweaks from Ubuntu Software. Go to the Keyboard & Mouse section. Then go to Mouse, click Emulation, and select Area.
