[Bug 1471804] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad T530] "Disable while typing" doesn't work

 

I should clarify that the "syndaemon -i 0.8 -d" workaround sort of works
when typing to prevent touchpad mouse movement, but it does allow mouse
movement while holding a key down, and it always allows physical
trackpad button clicks when typing or holding a key down.

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad T530] "Disable while typing" doesn't work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my Lenovo Thinkpad T530 there is an option in the Ubuntu Unity
  system mouse/trackpad settings to "Disable while typing" which 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 tried the following but it didn't work:
  syndaemon -i 0.8 -d
