[Bug 1378523] [NEW] After very recent update, disable trackpad while typing is no longer working

 

Public bug reported:

My cursor has become very jumpy two days ago (or so).  The touchpad gets
activated frequently while I type, and it didn't used to.

I checked the setting in the Settings control, and it still says that
the touchpad should be disabled while typing. Unchecking it and checking
it again did not help.

(I am experiencing other frustrating regressions from recent updates, in
which I lose access to the task bar and window control after
docking/undocking / sleeping/unsleeping my laptop.
