@Chase, unless you plan to revert this soon, please make sure this is mentioned in the beta1 release notes.
** Summary changed: - Trackpad behavior change causes tap-and-drag to lock + [MASTER] Trackpad behavior change causes tap-and-drag to lock ** Description changed: Since xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.5.0+git20120210-0ubuntu2, tap-and- drag locking has been enabled by default. This is a behavior change. When a tap-and-drag is started, it will continue until a tap ends it (effectively depressing the left mouse button). The change is an effort to provide an alternative click-and-drag method for clickpads, where dragging farther than the size of the trackpad is not possible. This bug is for collating feedback. If the change is adversely affecting you, please note it by clicking the green link at the top of this page "This bug affects x people. Does this bug affect you?" Please do not add extra comments unless absolutely necessary. - Original bug description - ======================== + [Workaround] + At least here this is what returns my touchpad to being useful & prevents ALL the unintended nonsense from occurring + synclient LockedDrags=0 TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2 + + [Original bug description] Not sure if proper source, wasn't the utouch libs Recently here & with others the left click 'select' has been 'randomly' getting stuck on, causing the cursor to select everything in it's path & otherwise be unresponsive, ie. nothing can be clicked on. At least here the effect lasts for about 20 -30 sec's, when it happens if stopping all activity the cursor & control return in that time frame It is also seen on occasion as a 'stuck' grab, same deal, nothing can be done till something releases. Additionally I've a few instances where suddenly the left click is non-functional, again control returns within 20 -30 sec's With a little practice have been able to cause this to happen within a few attempts, basically moving the cursor with left button depressed (highlight) combined with a small tap. So will attach 2 video's with short descriptions Disabling 'tap to click' has prevented this from happening inadvertently over a day long test ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libutouch-geis1 2.2.5-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-16.25-generic-pae 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-16-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 18 01:15:48 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20120216) MachineType: Dell Inc.
