Title:
  [Dell Inspiron 5547] - touchpad locks on select and unable to unlock

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a new Dell Inspiron 5547, I am dual booting with ubuntu 14.04.1
  and win 8.1.  When running on ubuntu, I am using touchpad exclusively,
  and sometimes the touchpad gets locked into selection and I am unable
  to unlock.  I have tried hitting ESC, tabbing to another window, but
  unable to unlock.  I have other symptons (cursor jumps to other lines
  of text when typing, cusor jumps to last icon on launch pad), but I
  think those are all related.

  I have tried disabling touchpad when typing but to no avail.  It also
  sometimes seems that this sympthon sometimes survies a reboot.
