[Bug 1380173] [NEW] Single touchpad tap causes two click events

2014-10-11 Thread Thucydides411
Public bug reported: A single tap on the touchpad sometimes causes two left-click events. One way to trigger this behavior is to do a two-finger tap (to emulate a right click), and after the context menu comes up, to do a single tap somewhere else. The single tap will then be interpreted as two

2012-08-02 Thread Thucydides411
Was this really fixed? As far as I can tell, it wasn't. There is still no way to configure the time delay, other than disabling the feature disable touchpad while typing in the GUI, and then adding syndaemon -i X to the list of startup applications, where X is the delay time in seconds. The

Thanks for looking into this Sven. On my system, there is only one instance of syndaemon open when the touchpad starts acting up, so this does not appear to be the cause for me. Sven, do you experience erratic mouse behavior after the pointer unfreezes, and does synclient TouchpadOff=0 work for

Do other people for whom synclient TouchpadOff=0 works have multiple instances of syndaemon running? It would be useful to see if this is related to the difference between systems that experience erratic mouse behavior and those which don't. Currently, it seems that we have two different types of

I think we may be looking at two separate (but perhaps related?) problems here, since one group of users is reporting that their mouse completely freezes, and that synclient TouchpadOff=0 works to unfreeze the mouse, while another group - including myself - reports that the mouse and keyboard

I've updated to the 3.2.1 version of nautilus and restarted my computer. I don't see any improvement - the regressions in typeahead previously mentioned are still there. Pressing backspace in the typeahead bar still navigates back a folder, and the bar still does not clear after navigating into a

I'm experiencing the same frustration with this bug. Needless to say, those experiencing this bug can't wait until 12.04 to regain control of their laptops. If there are any tests we can do to provide more information on this regression, then please tell us. But this bug is much more important

I've attached an example of what happens when the pointer unfreezes. The video is a bit faster than real life, but notice how the cursor grabs a window, shakes it around and then maximizes it, before returning control to the user. When this starts happening, it occurs very often - up to a few

I have the exact same problem a Karl in post #29. I have an Asus G53 Jw, so our systems are probably very similar. This problem showed up right after an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10, and then again after a fresh install of 11.10. My touchpad freezes, and when it comes back, it starts grabbing
