[Bug 991707] Re: Touchpad pointer gets stuck often

 

My trackpad is stuck (Ubuntu 12.04). I think Chromium may have messed it
up. When I tried to killall chromium-browser to release the pointer it
only half-killed the browser (only killing the tabs; I had to killall
chromium-browser again to get the windows to close).

The fixes of synaptiks and VT switching did not work for me.

Title:
  Touchpad pointer gets stuck often

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  In my Ubuntu 12.04, my mouse pointer gets stuck often. I'm talking
  about the touchpad and not the external mouse. The first thought would
  be to check whether we have given the option to lock the touchpad
  while typing. But, my pointer (touchpad) gets stuck simply often. The
  slightest of deductions I have been able to make is that this happens
  sometimes just after using the touchpad scrolling.
