Jacobus Erasmus, 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.

I believe it is a hardware bug but it can probably be fixed by software. The multi finger touchpad have no buttons and by pressing the bottom of the pad it sends either a left click or a right click. Unfortunately the bottom of the pad is also sensitive to touch so when clicking the mouse cursor would move just before the click. This is also a problem when trying to select something. Sometimes when you rest a finger on the button to depress as you are moving the cursor with another finger. The touchpad picks this up as a two finger movement and stops working as expected. My suggested solution is to be able to set the zones on the touchpad that is insensitive to touch (for normal mouse movement). There ia already have something similar for mouse scrolling where the edges of the tabs do not react to normal mouse movements but only act as scroll buttons. I believe by allowing me to set the bottom part of the scrollpad as insensitive to normal mouse behaviour it would solve my problem. It could of course have some interesting uses in the future eg. Using the edges similar to the Ubuntu Touch. EG. Using dragging from edge to switch apps, To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1203238/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
