** Description changed: + Since xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.5.0+git20120210-0ubuntu2, tap-and- + drag locking has been enabled by default. This is a behavior change. + When a tap-and-drag is started, it will continue until a tap ends it + (effectively depressing the left mouse button). The change is an effort + to provide an alternative click-and-drag method for clickpads, where + dragging farther than the size of the trackpad is not possible. + + This bug is for collating feedback. If the change is adversely affecting + you, please note it by clicking the green link at the top of this page + "This bug affects x people. Does this bug affect you?" Please do not add + extra comments unless absolutely necessary. + + Original bug description + ======================== + Not sure if proper source, wasn't the utouch libs Recently here & with others the left click 'select' has been 'randomly' getting stuck on, causing the cursor to select everything in it's path & otherwise be unresponsive, ie. nothing can be clicked on. At least here the effect lasts for about 20 -30 sec's, when it happens if stopping all activity the cursor & control return in that time frame It is also seen on occasion as a 'stuck' grab, same deal, nothing can be done till something releases. Additionally I've a few instances where suddenly the left click is non-functional, again control returns within 20 -30 sec's With a little practice have been able to cause this to happen within a few attempts, basically moving the cursor with left button depressed (highlight) combined with a small tap. So will attach 2 video's with short descriptions Disabling 'tap to click' has prevented this from happening inadvertently over a day long test ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libutouch-geis1 2.2.5-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-16.25-generic-pae 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-16-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 18 01:15:48 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20120216) MachineType: Dell Inc.
