** Description changed:

  While using the 'eraser' pointer on my Dell Latitude E6540, the cursor
  will sometimes instantly jump around randomly and open a few windows.
  After this happens, it will become completely unresponsive for 10-20
  seconds.  Sometimes the keyboard will stop responding also.  It seems
  like it is most likely to happen when I bump the trackpad with my palm
  when using the eraser pointer in the middle of the keyboard.  Also - I
  have always had the trackpad disabled when this happens via the Dell
- hotkey (Fn-F5).
- 
- Of course, it has never happened when the laptop is docked and I am
- using an external keyboard/mouse.
- 
- This issue seems identical to Bug #1258837.  On that page @penalvch says
- to file new bug reports to capture the hardware, and to mention him :).
