Thanks @Bob (caltinay) for the libinput insight.
I'm using Linux Mint 19, a Bionic based distro, and was suffering from
the same issue.
libinput, in fact, was already installed. All I had to do is change the
driver to libinput creating a file called
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf with the following contents:
######################################
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "Tapping" "True"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "True"
EndSection
######################################
Clickpad now works exactly as it should. Touch sensitivity at the bottom
area (where the buttons are located) is now correctly disabled.
Thanks!
