Dear Bryce, I will do that check when I upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10. The problem remains, but only exists if I do not plug in an external mouse. I expect it has to do with the touchpad being Alps and having an eraser button on the keyboard, but I am not sure. It is quicly triggered if I both move the eraser button and slide my finger across the touchpad at the same time. But as you say, let me check if the problem remains with 9.10 then I'll refile. For now I just always have a mouse plugged in to the laptop, or else keep my fingers far away from the touchpad.
One question, though: is there a particular way I should upgrade that will make sure any problematic .conf or other files are not retained from 9.4? Thanks. Sincerely, Russell -- Russell R.
