So far, I've tried to reduce the sensitivity under the 'general' tab in the gsynaptics program, but this just becomes an inconvenience as the touch pad obviously becomes less responsive. Doing so did not stop the cursor from jumping and affecting my text input either.
This is not the only problem though, as the touch pad issue also selects hyperlinks that I didn't intend to click sometimes. We're soon coming onto Intrepid Ibex and this would make the 4th distribution in a row where the touch pad on my Dell Inspiron 1300 has been an issue. If I were to disable the touchpad and then just use a mouse with the system, the problem doesn't occur. Why is this bug's status invalid under the 'Ubuntu Dell Project'? Shouldn't this bug be assigned to them as well? Also, what about someone upgrading the bug's status to 'critical'? This bug was reported over a year ago and there hasn't been any movement on it at all. It really does affect the user experience of Ubuntu. -- mouse pointer moves cursor while typing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135062 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
