Title:
  [Dell Latitude E7440] Touchpad out of sync

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The touchpad repetitively gets out of sync, causing the mouse to jump
  around and randomly click things:

  [  399.788431] psmouse serio1: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 6
  [  399.798582] psmouse serio1: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynced.

  WORKAROUND: Loading the psmouse driver with proto=exps largely avoids
  the problem, but has the side effect of merging the trackpad and the
  nub together as one input device (so you can't disable the trackpad
  and just use the nub).

  Setting reset after on the driver does fix the random moving and
  clicking, but causes the CPU to thrash as it constantly disconnects
  and reconnects to try to "resync."
