Dell E7440, Ubuntu 14.04 with latest updates (as of 6/11). The touchpad
works fine normally, but when holding down a key (e.g. Ctrl, Shift, Alt,
A, C, ...) and keeping the finger still on the touchpad, the mouse
cursor jumping randomly up and down around its original location (within
about 100 pixels most of the time, vertically only). Had the hardware
replaced by Dell (mainboard, keyboard, and touchpad), problem is still
there but less severe (only happen after some usage time, and the cursor
jumping only within a few pixels).

Another symptom is application get closed randomly while I was just
moving the mouse cursor around using the touchpad. I always have tap-to-
click disabled, so I'm not sure how this happened. But everytime it
happens, I see these messages in dmesg:
