Recent install of Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell XPS 15, same issue.
ii xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.8.2-1ubuntu3
amd64 Synaptics TouchPad driver for
X.Org server
e
At startup, the touchpad still clicks while typing:
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ ps -ef | fgrep synd
elis 4337 4151 0 09:30 ? 00:00:00 syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R
elis 4842 4785 0 09:30 pts/17 00:00:00 grep -F --color=auto synd
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ killall syndaemon
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ syndaemon -dtkRi 1
elis@xpslocalhost:~$ ps -ef | fgrep synd
elis 4848 3932 0 09:30 ? 00:00:00 syndaemon -dtkRi 1
elis 4882 4785 0 09:31 pts/17 00:00:00 grep -F --color=auto syt
After running these commands nothing has changed. Removing the -t option
and the -R option don't seem to have an impact (some bugs elsewhere
claim that would resolve the issue; it did not).
It seems that sometimes after a reboot things work, but it's difficult
to tell if it's actually working, or I'm just not being heavy-handed
with my palms.
Happy to troubleshoot.

Title:
"disable touchpad while typing" doesn't work
Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
"Disable touchpad while typing" checkbox in System Settings does not
work on my Asus F5N laptop. The button to disable touchpad does not
work as well. As a workaround I use "syndaemon -i 1 -K -d" command as
per Ubuntu help page
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad/ but it does not
fix the issue with the said chechbox and hardware button. I guess it
still needs to access shared memory using SHMconfig option in
xorg.conf in which case it is the same bug that has been around for 3
years starting from Ubuntu 11.10
