- While moving a window with the touchpad the pointer will appear and be stuck in the top left corner of the screen.
- A workaround is to use a USB mouse.
+ To reproduce the bug:
+ randomly touch the upper-left corner of the touchpad, usually within seconds, the mouse pointer jumps to X root:(0,0), i.e., the upper-left corner of screen, and trying to move the pointer is futile thereafter.
+ 
+ A way to workaround, hit Alt-F7 (move window), then, the pointer jumps
+ and can be moved again.

** Summary changed:

- pointer stuck in upper-left corner while using touchpad
+ Pointer stuck in upper-left corner while using touchpad on the upper left corner in emachines 2350
