Public bug reported: I am using the very latest BIOS A15, with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the latest kernel for this is 3.16.0-45-generic #60~14.04.1-Ubuntu
This is a kernel that has these recent ALPS related patches : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1258837 So after a reboot the touchpad and button work fine, at start. After a while the buttons, a single tap click , a double tap-click and the dual finger scrolling stop working on the correct front-most window and work instead on a background window. If I Alt-tab to bring the window that receives the touchpad events to front, it receives it ok, so this one window gets mouse events. Using either the touchpad or the glidepoint is then limited to this window at this point. Going to a terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 just a few seconds and then back to ctrl-alt-f7 restores things to normal for a while. Until its starts again. No dmesg nor syslog show up so this may be an X issue instead. or this is a kernel issue. Not sure.
