Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
When using a synaptics touchpad, input will spontaneously lock up. I am
not able to click on anything on the screen except for sometimes a
random, arbitrary object on the screen (IE, one scrollbar will work, or
I am able to click and focus on one textbox). Usually after I operate
this one object, turn focus to it, etc. the input system will unlock but
immediately lock again as soon as I click on something else. Often the
one object that I'm trying to access isn't consistent with the focus
model; IE, the one object will be in a window underneath the top window
and clicking on the object doesn't bring that window to focus.
This effects all mice, but problems seem to occur when the synaptics
touchpad is bumped in a minor way. Simply touching the touchpad
accidentally (while typing) can also lead the mouse pointer to jump
across the screen and latch onto the top gnome toolbar as if you meant
to drag it to another position on the screen.
** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu)
