[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

This is very bad... it wasn't noticeable at the .5 second delay, and helped alot! In fact, it's one of my favorite features of GNOME, but if this isn't changed..

Seems logical to keep the 0.5s decrease patch as a workaround until the proper underlying patches are identified. I suppose they'll eventually bubble up in future releases of things, so you could leave the workaround in place for oneiric with plan to test reverting it in oneiric+1 to see if it's still needed. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu Oneiric) = gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Oneiric) ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Incomplete = New ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: (unassigned) = Rodrigo Moya (rodrigo-moya) -- 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

The X stack is working as expected; gnome-settings-daemon is disabling the touchpad while typing, and then re-enabling it after a couple of seconds inactivity. Moving to gnome-control-center where this behaviour is controlled.

[Bug 801763] Re: Typing causes cursor to stick
Before, in gnome 2.32, how did it work? (sorry, don't have any 2.32 installation to test). I don't see as a very important issue really, as it's worst to have the touchpad being active and moved by mistake while typing.

[Bug 801763] Re: Typing causes cursor to stick
The way it used to work is that the touchpad was locked *while* typing (by default) and moving the cursor with the touchpad after you finished typing would typically not include any delay. What has changed is that gnome-settings-daemon doesn't even think about taking the lock off until you *try to move the cursor*, thus the feeling of the cursor being 'stuck'. It is not acceptable to depend on users applying the 'workaround' (turning locking of the touchpad off) because it would have to applied by *everyone wanting to use the touchpad on the laptop*. Since it worked fine in Gnome 2.32 as described there should be no excuses about how it can be worked around (a work around is one thing when the odd user here and there needs to apply it and another thing entirely when everyone does.) I think in terms of fixing this it would be worth investigating why gnome-settings-daemon doesn't contemplate releasing the lock until the user tries to move the cursor after typing. -- 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
