After more googling, I found the solution. The root cause is the package mouseemu which is automatically activated on Apple laptops (1 button on trackpad).
The trick is to edit /etc/default/mouseemu, uncomment "TYPING_BLOCK..." and change "300" to "0". If you agree we can keep this bug open as it will probably affect other mouseemu users. The initial setup behavior is not normal, so maybe it could be changed...
