Hm looking some more, gnome-settings-daemon runs syndaemon with -t which is 'disable tapping and scrolling'.
The moving the mouse is still allowed in that case, hardware buttons too. But scrolling and using tap to click shouldn't be. Keys used with modifiers are ignored by syndaemon too, it's passed by gnome-settings-daemon. Is this what you're experiencing? Also sarvatt notes that using the same key repeatedly disables things for a second, then enables it for a second, then disables etc etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323006 Title: touchpad too sensitive. focus jumps all over document on text input Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” source package in Trusty: New Bug description: I am a very fast typist. When I type into emacs, gedit, and libreoffice, the focus jumps around when I am typing. I look up and find I have just entered text in a different area. This happens all the time. I have set the touchpad to "disable during text input" and this doesn't seem to work. Perhaps this command is broken. I have a lenovo x230 tablet computer, with touchpad.
