I just marked another 3 duplicates and agree that many people could be
affected.

I tested a Samsung SF510 with an Elantech touchpad where this bug really
hurts: its palm detection is very unreliable. Finger clicks are detected
if a palm is 3 mm *ABOVE* the touchpad surface! Even worse: the
clickable left/right buttons are part of the touchpad! Their surface
does move the pointer too and makes them nearly unusable. So users are
forced to enable tapping to click, staggering again into this bug while
typing.

Many Samsung laptops or Asus EeePCs have Elantech touchpads and might be
affected. Fixing this bug could ease such problems with bad touchpad
drivers or hardware.

@admin: please consider to raise the importance of this bug.
