w2vy, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product- support/product/inspiron-15-3543-laptop/drivers?os=biosa an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (a07). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a07 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584528 Title: Inspiron 3543 TouchPad cursor jumps to left edge unexpectedly Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: At times (mostly undetermined) when touching the glide pad to take an action the cursor will jump to the left edge of the screen. I do not recall the system ever taking ACTION based on the click at the new location. ex: side bar opening, etc It may not ever take the action at the ORIGINAL location, I can't be sure since I am only alerted when things don't happen as I expect. If I am using the keyboard to type or scroll (arrows) I have not noticed anything strange. I am not sure if it only happens when attempting a Left click or a Right Click. As a developer I think it is seeing my Click and reading the position incorrectly or hitting some other error condition. I do believe it is a result of my click.
