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.
