[Bug 1471804] Re: "Disable while typing" doesn't work

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected vivid

** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  I run Ubuntu 15.04 on a newish Lenovo Thinkpad T440s. It has the new
  large, solid trackpad that is clickable anywhere, with no defined
  buttons. It is easily bumped while typing, creating an almost unusable
  experience. There is an option in the Ubuntu Unity system mouse/trackpad
  settings to "Disable while typing", which would solve the problem.
  However, this does not work. I confirm that there is absolutely no delay
  between typing and trackpad activation; in fact I can even move the
  trackpad while holding a key down.
  
  A reported workaround is to run:
  syndaemon -i 0.8 -d
  But this should not be necessary to make users run hacks like this, as it makes Ubuntu look unprofessional. The Ubuntu system settings option should do what is claims.
  
  Thanks for looking into this.
