Sorry for not commenting on that earlier...

Just as a comment, I don't know how you are doing your user testing but
from what we see in Ubuntu/on launchpad, the current settings are
working quite nicely. We tried quite some different behaviour, timing,
options in the past and we always had some slashback/unhappy users. We
didn't really get any complain from the current configuration though. Is
the feedback one you got from your users/customers or is that just the
feeling from the system76 team looking at the polish of the OS?

what are competing platforms doing? blocking the cursor move?

not sure what makes you think it's "unlikely", before we added that
syncdaemon use it was trivial to miss-click by holding your hands over
the touchpad area, some touchpads are just weird acting.

see e.g https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-
synaptics/+bug/240738 and the duplicates/comment


> Without the "-t" option, syndaemon will block cursor movement,

right, that's wrong, we have been there, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-
daemon/+bug/801763

blocking movement feels wrong, you type than move to the touchpad and
try to move the cursor and it doesn't react, that's a very
confusing/frustrating user experience

0.5 was creating issues for some users, see
