[Bug 1332816] [NEW] Laptop keyboard activity and touchpad movements often interpreted as clicks

 

Public bug reported:

On a system76 gazelle9, the track pad sometimes fires off a click even
when it is not pressed. This can happen when typing on the keyboard (not
touching the trackpad) or when actually using the mouse but not
clicking. Such events make it somewhat unsafe and inconvenient to use
GUI applications that do not have an "undo" function for each possible
action. Nothing seems to make the false clicks more or less likely to
happen.
