Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 15.10 - Dell E7440 touchpad works correctly when freshly started each time; but after some time running the mouse pointer starts to randomly jumps position when I try to use the touchpad.
If I shut down Ubuntu and re-start after about 10 seconds, the problem is temporarily resolved.
Both the USB Mouse and keyboard blue joy-button continue to work correctly while having "jumpy touchpad problem.
Running Ubuntu 15.10 installed version (updated from 15.04 new installation)
I have previously seen the same same problem with Ubuntu 14.04 and 15.04, both live CD and installed versions.
I am new to Linux & forums, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
