Public bug reported:

This bug report refers to a Dell XPS13-9333 running Ubuntu 14.10.

The System Settings > Mouse & Touchpad windows provides the option to
disable the touchpad whilst typing. Unfortunately, this does not seem to
disable the sensitivity of the touchscreen such that inadvertent content
with the screen whilst typing can alter the focus of the typing activity
as would accidentally touching the touchpad if it were not disabled.

Whether or not it was intended that the touchpad checkbox should apply
also to the touchscreen is unknown. However, there seems to be nowhere
else under Systems Settings to control the behaviour of the touchscreen
and it seems logical that the touchpad and the touchscreen should have
similar functionality.

Perhaps what is needed is an extension to the Mouse & Touchpad window to
provide touchscreen functionality.

If this is not considered a bug but rather an enhancement request,
please accept my apologies for your perseverence.
