Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04
Problem: checking "Disable touchpad while typing does not actually
disable it (at least not on my new HP Envy 15). The settings it causes
to be used are:
syndaemon -d -i 2.0 -K -R -t
This only disables taps, which causes the cursor to run wldly around the
screen while typing.
"Not a problem!" you say?
Try using focus follows mouse, especially with auto-raise, then come
back and tell me that :-)
The correct settings are:
syndaemon -d -i 2.0 -K -R
This completely disables the touchpad while typing, for two seconds.
My workaround was to uncheck the box and add syndaemon, with my parms,
to the Startup Applications. This is maybe not a blocker, but I think
getting a bug fix out on this sooner rather than later would be good.
Putting the workaround in the release notes might also be a good idea.
It could save others the hours of research I've put in. 2 seconds also
seems a bit long, I'm going to try 1.5 and 1.25 and see how that works
out.
Let me know if there's any other info you need or anything you'd like me
to test.
Thanks!
