[Bug 1570902] [NEW] Touchpad turns back

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Release:        Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

I am using a Thinpad laptop with a TrackPoint, which I find more convenient to use than the TouchPad.
Turned the TouchPad off via the System Settings (mouse & touchpad), which works for a while.

Expected behavior: TouchPad should stay off unless I turn it back on
(eg. for another user)

What happens: TouchPad turns back on randomly, often after suspend,
sometimes just in the middle of a session. When checking the System
Settings, the touchpad button is indeed back to "on" without any
intervention from me.

I am unsure which package is causing the bug, most probably a process is
ignoring the settings I set and has in its routine to turn the TouchPad
on. Maybe the bug should be filed agains gsettings?
