[Bug 1429933] Re: Sometimes, cursor jumps around if touchpad is in use

 

I had this issue since I installed my system, so there was no prior
kernel version which I did not have the issue with.

I'm running the 4.0-rc3 kernel now but how/when can I say that the issue
is gone? Maybe it will come back after one day, after one week or after
one month?

Title:
  Sometimes, cursor jumps around if touchpad is in use

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If using the touchpad, the cursor jumps around on the screen. It seems
  to me that there are also some events (like clicks) that get fired.
  This issue can be worked around by disabling and enabling the touchpad
  (pressing Fn+F7 twice) but it will reappear after a certain amount of
  time.

  I have already tried to use some mainline kernels from
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D. I have tried
  v3.18-rc2-utopic, v3.18-rc1-utopic and v3.17.1-utopic. Either I could
  not boot into the specified kernel or the bug still existed.

  If there is any more information I could give or any debugging work
  that I could do, please let me know.
