Bug ID: 473788
Summary: Tablet mode does not disable touchpad (but it
successfully disables the keyboard)
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.7
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
I am using KDE Plasma on a laptop with a keyboard that can be flipped. The
physical keyboard gets disabled in the tablet mode (when the keyboard is
folded). However, while the keyboard is disabled in the tablet mode, the
touchpad below the keyboard is not disabled, and it receives accidental touch
events as my fingers fall on the touchpad.
Tablet mode should also disable the touchpad input, so that it does not receive
accidental touch events.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable tablet mode by flipping the keyboard on a touch screen laptop
OBSERVED RESULT
In the tablet mode, the touchpad still registers touch events, while the
keyboard is disabled.
EXPECTED RESULT
The touchpad should also be disabled in the tablet mode, so that it does not
receive accidental input, which causes the mouse cursor to move randomly.
