OK, that's what I had understood as well. However, my laptop seems unfortunately have no configuration possibility for the touchpad in the BIOS.

However, this happens in such a way that if I manage to close the application where the error occurred, the mouse continues working until the next malfunction. And, if the malfunction happens on the panel, all the X11 becomes inactive for the mouse. [i]Actually, they are always only the buttons which stop interacting.
