Public bug reported: I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series according to the laptop sticker. The clickpad generally works fine but sometimes locks up. By locking up I mean that using the trackpad to move the cursor doesn't work but using the trackpad to click still does. Sometimes the two finger scroll seems to carry on working and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm not sure of a pattern, sometimes it seems to happen directly after logging in, though it has happened at the login screen before. Sometimes it seems to be triggered by two finger scrolling, in this case the scrolling always seems to carry on working and usually after scrobbling about on the touchpad it seems to start working again. The problem existed in 14.04 and upgrading to 14.10 didn't make it go away.
