[Bug 801763] Re: Typing causes cursor to stick
Hi, By reducing the upstream default 2 sec timout, this fix introduces a severe usability issue for macbook pro users like me. See lp #962958. Getting to your original bug: 1.) Type a few key strokes. 2.) Try to move the cursor using the touchpad. That issue can be easily fixed by adding -t option to syndaemon launch without changing the default timeout. -t option ensures the mouse is movable during the timeout, but will prevent any accidental clicks. So, if you are worried about mouse movement only during that 2 sec, this is better way to patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801763 Title: Typing causes cursor to stick To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/801763/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 962958] Re: Touchpad in macbook pro gets clicked all the time randomly when typing
Apparently, the above patch was introduced as a response to bug #801763. The right way to have fixed that bug would have been to introduce -t option to syndaemon, rather than reducing the timeout. And I think it should be fixed in upstream g-s-d because I can understand that bug being sometimes annoying as well (but not as bad as this one). I think I will file a bug upstream for that, but meantime, please restore the default 2s timeout by removing that patch in bug #801763 and perhaps introduce temporary patch for -t option until upstream settles it. Thank you all for you attention, and looking forward to the fix :). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/962958 Title: Touchpad in macbook pro gets clicked all the time randomly when typing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/962958/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

gnome-bugs #673055 is not really fix for this bug (it's fix for bug #801763).

Hi Sebastien, I understand. Please read comment #14 in bug #801763 and also see the upstream bug I filed.

[Bug 962958] Re: Touchpad in laptops gets clicked all the time randomly when typing
Hi Sebastien, I believe my comment #13 has been incorrectly interpreted. I wrote it in response to someone assigning this bug to gnome-bugs #673055 (I received a notification of the change). I wanted to make sure we don't end up interpreting the upstream bug as a fix for this one and hence wait on it (instead, pointed to the debian patch to be taken care). I have been using this work around for sometime now and it really has reduced my stress level since :). For now while waiting for the official fix to land, I just did following to do away with manual launch. 1. renamed syndaemon to syndaemon-bin and 2. created a sh script syndaemon with following content #!/bin/sh syndaemon-bin -i 2 -t -K -R Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/962958 Title: Touchpad in laptops gets clicked all the time randomly when typing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/962958/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
