The tip about synclient was very helpful to me. My normal typing position was causing random middle-clicks to occur and I had no idea what was going on. Disabling RTCornerButton and RBCornerButton fixed this.

I have enabled the "disable touchpad while typing" option. I was expecting to be able to type without random copy/paste/delete/highlight and moving occurring. Instead the it randomly performing the aforementioned functions--but only while typing. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Dell Studio Laptop with no external mice or keyboards. I have also tested the touchpad/typing combination and it appears that I can delete things while typing (I held down a key) by simply highlighting it with the mouse.
