[Bug 1542160] [NEW] Possible to disable touchpad when it's the only pointing device

 

Public bug reported:

Touchpad can be disabled when it's the only pointing device, rending the
mouse inoperable. No warning dialog. I've accidentally clicked this
button and needed to reenable it using tab to highlight the button and
enter to 'click' it.
