Are the developers aware of a major bug in the "ELAN0674:00 04F3:3193 Touchpad" 
touchpad driver?

I tried getting help for the problem of the touchpad suddenly requiring 2 
fingers to move the cursor around (on USER list) but no help was offered. The 
touchpad situation deteriorates to get worse with more things going wrong 
without regular restarts. Having gone a few days without restarting the 
computer the touchpad settings have no failed to work at all. For example, even 
though I have "tap to click" disabled, tapping still results in a click. Even 
though I have the setting enabled to disable touchpad while typing, touchpad is 
not disable while typing.

these problems prevent any work from getting done cause typing results in the 
cursor moving position on its own resulting in my typing into a place above or 
below where I'm actually typing, among other problems.

Can anything be done to fix this situation? Or is my only fix to move to a 
different distro? The main reason I chose Debian is to not have to deal with 
crippling use bugs like this one. Are the devs doing anything to fix this bug 
ASAP? Can you offer any help?

I am running Debian 11 fully up to date on a Lenovo X13 Yoga Gen 2.
