Although I'm no longer on Ubuntu, I can confirm this issue is affecting me on a fresh install of Debian Testing. I have the same machine as Angelicfury1, Thinkpad T530 (which is how I ended up here). I figured I would add some additional info:
This issue occurs reliably for me every time the machine wakes from sleep. The cursor is stuck in position, and the touchpad functions as if the middle button is being held down. In other words, the touchpad is stuck in "scroll" mode. As with the others, dropping to a different runlevel and back "fixes" the issue. This problem did NOT occur on Ubuntu 12.10 with the latest kernel and drivers from that release, though it's possible my xorg config somehow prevented this issue from occurring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991707 Title: Mouse pointer (touchpad) gets stuck often Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In my Ubuntu 12.04, my mouse pointer gets stuck often. I'm talking about the touchpad and not the external mouse. The first thought would be to check whether we have given the option to lock the touchpad while typing. But, my pointer (touchpad) gets stuck simply often. The slightest of deductions I have been able to make is that this happens sometimes just after using the touchpad scrolling.
