Yes this bug makes using the affected laptop almost useless if a large amount of typing needs to be done.
The original touchpad disable while typing issue is still not fixed but I found a decent work around for this issue by installing "touchpad- indicator" through the terminal using: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator I then added the program to my start up applications. This program will disable the touchpad if a mouse is plugged in and will allow you to assign a keyboard short cut to manually turn the pad on and off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930080 Title: Mouse (touchpad) jumps while typing although it should be disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/930080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
