[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled

[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled

Hi, the synaptics (libinput also installed) package work well for me in 16.04 (and previous version to 12.04 at least) up to 17.04 on thinkpads (x2XX to carbon X1). Currently using carbon x1 5th gen. There is however some form of instability with settings that affects many users including me.

[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled

If you search the web on this topic you will find that hundreds of people have been perplexed by this behaviour for over a decade, patches have been supplied upstream, and yet the problem persists: There is no control evident which allows one to select the widely desired behaviour, i.e. to

Hmm, sorry about this (I think A number of users were complaining about this but it turns out it was more about cursor movement than clicks (or so combo of the cursor moving then a click on new position after timeout. In any event it was never intended to prevent cursor movement while typing So

[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled

I didnt see that you are using Unity. u-s-d also launches syndaemon with the "-t" option, which means motion won't be disabled, just clicking and scrolling. Perhaps the "Synaptics Off" patch would help, atleast on supported hardware. I am not sure that Unity7 has been ported to use libinput, I

However at least on my laptop it is still falling back to using syndaemon. That is launched with "-t" option and has been since 2012. commit c1b2b478ec71b907e4af736d62c1a81ad400f902 Author: Bastien Nocera Date: Mon Jun 18 11:51:09 2012 +0100 mouse: Only inhibits mouse

[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled

The setting in gnome-control-center was removed since the setting was changed to be default to always active. Its certainly working on my laptop however I had xserver-xorg-input-libinput installed (but no changes to config files). 3.20 removed evdev/synaptics support completely in favour of
