Public bug reported: The feature "Disable touchpad while typing", which can be set in xfce4 -mouse-settings is currently useless, because it's default delay is somewhere around 500ms, which is far too much for a convenient usage.
The problem is that we (users) are actually unable to set a shorter delay, thus unable to use it at all. Current known workaround is to disable it (althought I WANT it enabled) and run a syndaemon: > syndaemon -d -k -i 0.25s which is a working trick I've found here [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122314]. I am suggesting: a) set default do 250ms (2.5 sec) b) add an imput field next to this checkbox where user might set his own preffered value #crysman ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xfce4-settings 4.8.3-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-29.46-generic 3.2.24 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu12 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Sep 4 12:41:56 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/xfce4-settings-manager InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xfce4-settings UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise touchpad -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045758 Title: Disable touchpad while typing default delay too long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1045758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
