[Bug 1272624] Re: [Dell Latitude E7440] 14.04 Touchpad causing mouse pointer to spuriously jump around screen
It seems to be the same problem as I am having with my Dell Latitude E7440 with Ubuntu 14.04.03, Ubuntu 15.04 amd64, Ubuntu 15.10 amd64, and also when testing with the latest upstream kernels. I raised a separate bug report for the problem as requested by Christopher M. Penalver 22/10/15; this bug report is currently active (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513914) I am not sure about the link, it seems to suggest that it has already been fixed in kernel 3.1.6+, but I am now up to kernel 4.4.0 and the problem still exists.

I experience the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 on a Dell Latitude E7440. No issue with the trackpoint. Sometimes this issue stops suddenly, but when the problem occurs, it is impossible to work on e.g. spreadsheets because the cursor is constantly jumping away from the cell I want to click.

Hello, Sorry for the slow response, but I upgraded to Ununtu 15;10 on the release day, and have been checking to see if the problem still exists om 15.10, unfortunately it still exists with 15.10 I am very new to Linux in general, (just in process of migrating from Windows 7 to Ubuntu), I am new to the forum and am not sure what you mean by filing a new report via a terminal. Looking at the forum, the reports seem to include a lot of device / system specific information What information needs to be included, and how do I f in it? Please, a bit of advice would be very helpful, as I am a complete newbie, :-[ On 22/10/15 02:54, Christopher M.

Same problem on my Dell E7440. with Ubuntu 14.04.3 (installed version). When holding my finger still on the touchpad, the cursor starts jumping back and forth (mainly vertically) from finger location to some random location. Updating to latest BIOS A15, and latest touchpad drivers on 17th August did not help. Problem seems to not happen for the first few minutes after each Ubuntu startup, but then starts happening and becomes quite frequent after about 20 minutes. The problem does not happen with the keyboard trackpoint mouse button. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272624 Title: [Dell Latitude E7440] 14.04 Touchpad causing mouse pointer to spuriously jump around screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1272624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1272624] Re: [Dell Latitude E7440] 14.04 Touchpad causing mouse pointer to spuriously jump around screen
I'm on an E7240 running 12.04 LTS (anxiously awaiting my employeer to certify 14.04 with all our internal tools and what-not) and I have this problem. I'm pretty sure it happens because my middle and ring fingers accidentally touch the top edge of the pad while my pointer finger is moving the cursor. I can reproduce this on purpose by running xinput --test [device number] and watching the events while I do the following: - Touch the pad near the middle or bottom. The cursor moves slightly as my finger wiggles around. - Without removing the first finger, touch the pad again with a second finger above the first finger. The cursor shoots up to a[1]=0 (which is the y position). - Without removing the first finger, remove the second (top) finger. The cursor shoots back down to a[1]=some large number Sometimes it takes it all the way to the bottom of the screen, sometimes it goes back to where it was, or somewhere else. I haven't been able to figure out how it decides what to go back to. With this, while I touching with my pointer finger and my middle or ring finger accidentally touch the pad at the top, the cursor shoots where I don't want it. Then when my middle/ring finger leaves the pad (usually because I started cursing (get it?) at my cursor), it shoots back down again somewhere completely arbitrary. Similarly: - Touch the bad near the top. - Without removing the top finger, touch somewhere near the bottom. The cursor doesn't (yet) move. - Lift the top finger. The cursor shoots to the bottom. - Put down the top finger again, without lifting the bottom. The cursor shoots back up again. You can make the cursor shoot up and down just by keeping your bottom finger down and tapping the top finger. The cursor follows the top finger no matter what you do. Interestingly, this does NOT happen from side-to-side. Two touches side-by-side trigger the multi-touch gestures and don't move the cursor. If we could just get it so that going from single touch to multi-touch top-to-bottom doesn't actually move the cursor, that would be grand. Thank you very much for all your help. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272624 Title: [Dell Latitude E7440] 14.04 Touchpad causing mouse pointer to spuriously jump around screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1272624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
