Title:
"Disable while typing" does not disable touchpad completely (only
scrolling)
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The "Disable while typing" option in the Mouse and Touchpad settings
only work for scrolling, but not the regular movement of the pointer.
To reproduce:
1. enable the option
2. Open a window where you can type (editor, terminal)
3. type with one hand constantly, and move the mouse pointer with the other
one
The mouse pointer should not move, but does for me.
When two-finger scrolling instead, this gets blocked successfully
while typing.
This is with Ubuntu 13.10 on a Lenovo X220t.
(The touchscreen appears to be completely unaffected by this setting
(you can scroll while typing), but that is OK.)
According to the documentation
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Disabling_Touchpad_while_Typing)
I have now also disabled "Tap to click", which works around the main
annoyance of this: accidentally clicking with the palm/part of your
hand while typing - the pointer can still be moved.
