Public bug reported:
Touchpad worked perfectly in Ubuntu 17.10 when using one and two fingers
clicks, two finger scrolling, and tapping. (I don't know if multitouch
worked, but IIRC it did in the past with Unity)
After upgrading to Bionic Beaver it frequently becomes unresponsive,
during which I can neither move the mouse cursor or scroll. There seem
to be two different kinds of unresponsiveness, one provoked by one-
finger movement, the other provoked by two-finger scrolling:
One-finger movement:
Triggered by:
Giving continuous input to touchpad for a second or two. E.g., move one finger
in a small circle. After 1-3 circles the touchpad becomes unresponsive. (Making
long straight left-right movements also tends to trigger it, but less clearly)
Results in:
Stays unresponsive until the finger is lifted from and lowered on touchpad
again.
Two-finger scrolling:
Scroll up and down a few times. Does not seem to matter what the application is.
Results in:
Scrolling stops after a few movements. Lifting and re-lowering both fingers
does not seem to make it go again, but it works after waiting a few seconds.
However scrolling is jumpy most of the time and rarely as smooth as it was in
17.10
