I can't believe this bug is so old.
Do I have the same? I'm on 16.04 with a Lenovo Thinkpad T450s and I do
not even have a "disable while typing" option in the settings.
ps -af | grep synda
shows:
2285 2205 0 Jun25 ? 00:00:01 syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R
Usability is really poor because typing is steadily interrupted by palm faults.
Surely this can be fixed?

Title:
"disable touchpad while typing" doesn't work
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When selecting "disable while typing" under the touchpad section of
the "Mouse & Touchpad" preferences, nothing changes, the touchpad
stays active while typing. I can rapidly type multiple characters with
my left hand and continue to move the cursor with the touchpad with my
right hand.
I can see from my processlist that syndaemon is running with the
following options:
2185 ? S 1:31 | \_ syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R
First, the -t option isn't what's expected with this setting, it
should disable the touchpad entirely. Also, it doesn't seem to even do
that correctly, as I can definitely click the touchpad while typing as
well as moving the cursor.
