Title:
tapping touchpad moves cursor
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On my acer timeline M5, when I tap on my touchpad, the mouse moves a
little bit each tap. This can be reproduced by going to an area of
the desktop and steadily tapping on the mousepad at a rhythm that
would cause a single tap event. You can see that the mouse will move
slightly during many of these tap events, which when trying to perform
precise clicks (ex. closing tabs in a web browser, selecting text) may
cause the pointer to move enough distance to cause an unintended mouse
click.
Suggested fix would be to not allow any x, y coordinate change when a
tap is detected, otherwise allow the mouse movement (i.e. in the non-
tap scenario).
