I found the resolution to this bug lies in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-settings-daemon/+bug/1351772
I wonder why the issue is not yet resolved if it is so easy to fix? A new user should ideally get a flawless experience out of the box on newly purchased hardware rather than spend weeks frustrated about simple things. No wonder that Windows rules the market.

Please close this bug report.

Title:
  Palm detection  does not work on synaptics touchpad

Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am unable to type properly on the Dell xps 13 2015 model (Ubuntu
  vivid)  without first disabling "click to touch" in settings. The
  cursor jumps to wherever the mouse pointer is and starts typing from
  that point. Currently I cant type even three words straight without
  the third word getting inserted somewhere in between the earlier words
  or entire paragraphs getting deleted because of auto-selection...

  I tried setting  PalmMinZ=100 in
  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf but no luck after a reboot.
  According to this page :  http://xps13-9333.appspot.com/#touchpad
  this was fixed in kernel 3.16 but I am on kernel 3.19 and the problem
  still exists.
