Expanding upon comment #3
xinput shows
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech M315/M235 id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]

↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
I have issued the command
xinput disable 'ELAN Touchscreen'
this disables my touchscreen, which I don't use anyhow, and the disable-
while-typing works correctly on my touchpad.

Title:
touchpad disable while typing, disable tap-to-click don't work in
17.10
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since upgrading to 17.10, my mouse pointer is repeatedly and
frequently getting moved against my will when I am typing on my laptop
keyboard (as opposed to external keyboard) because my hand brushes
against the touchpad or even just near its surface.
Furthermore, I don't want tap-to-click to be enabled. I want to
actually have to push down on the mousepad hard enough to click it to
generate a mouse button event. I can't figure out how to disable tap-
to-click in 17.10 either.
I did not have these problems _at all_ in 17.04.
I have the touchpad click method set to "Areas" and "Disable While
Typing" enabled in gnome-tweak-tool. This does not help.
I have these lines in the touchpad section of
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf as well:
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true"
Option "PalmDetection" "true"
Option "Tapping" "false"
They don't help either.
This is a substantial regression in functionality from 17.04.
It appears to be a problem using both Wayland and Xorg.
