Eric Harris-Braun, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Frequently when using my thumb to press down on the pad to make the click, and then I touch my index finger to to the touchpad intending to drag (for example when resizing a window or extending the selected range of text) the mouse will jump to an absolute position on the screen (moving the selected text or window egde with it) rather and simply extending the selection or window size. This behavior happens about 50% of the time. I have not been able to find a solution to it or anything to help distinguish what the difference is between when it does happen and when it doesn't.
