The way it used to work is that the touchpad was locked *while* typing (by default) and moving the cursor with the touchpad after you finished typing would typically not include any delay. What has changed is that gnome-settings-daemon doesn't even think about taking the lock off until you *try to move the cursor*, thus the feeling of the cursor being 'stuck'. It is not acceptable to depend on users applying the 'workaround' (turning locking of the touchpad off) because it would have to applied by *everyone wanting to use the touchpad on the laptop*.
Since it worked fine in Gnome 2.32 as described there should be no excuses about how it can be worked around (a work around is one thing when the odd user here and there needs to apply it and another thing entirely when everyone does.) I think in terms of fixing this it would be worth investigating why gnome-settings-daemon doesn't contemplate releasing the lock until the user tries to move the cursor after typing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801763 Title: Typing causes cursor to stick To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/801763/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
