The issue still occures with bios version V2.28 (04/16/2014) and kernel version: 3.16.0-23-generic. BTW I have aspire v5-473P but I think it doesn't make a difference.

However, using two fingers stops the mouse movement. This report is not referring the absence of muli-touch. It is referring to a problem with regular touchpad usage caused by this problem. Problem: The touch pad includes a touch surface and buttons (beneath) all on one touch surface. The entire touch surface can be depressed to click the mouse. The buttons are an extension of the surface and can also be depressed to click the mouse. They are separated into right and left areas. The buttons are functioning for left and right clicks, however, the software is not differentiating between the buttons and the touch surface for pointer movement. Sliding your finger on the buttons results in the pointer moving on screen. Therefore, when resting your finger on the left or right mouse button (as when preparing to highlight text) you cannot use your other finger to move the pointer because the dual input causes the pointer to stop. What I expected to happen: The Touch pad should allow you to rest your finger (without depressing) on the right mouse button while still being able to move the mouse pointer.
