Title:
Touchpad in laptops gets clicked all the time randomly when typing
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The touchpad is supposed to be disabled when typing text, but isn't
and texts get randomly selected, deleted, cursor moved, inserted
elsewhere etc. due to spurious clicks the "proximity" of the hand
causes on touchpad.
I do have "disable touchpad while typing" set to true in mouse
settings ->touchpad. (btw, I am curious why this setting even present
given I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to switch it off, even when
gaming - I think I will file a separate bug).
This happens so often, like every few secs when typing, that it's
super annoying to the point of not being able to use the laptop.
The only way out is to disable "Enable mouse click with touchpad"
setting. Then, it's very hard to use touchpad on macbookpro because of
the amount of physical clicks involved in middle of the touchpad
making select-and-drag kind of operations almost impossible. Either
way, it's unusable, so I recomment higher severity for this bug.
I am running 12.04, updated like yesterday, but I have seen this
happen before in 12.04. So, I don't think this is due to last release.
The macbook pro I have is, I think version 8,2. Please let me know if
more info is needed from me. Thanks.
