update to #49 even after installing 18.04 updates on Jan 2nd the following feature persists: a few times a week the cursor goes nuts - it looks like it's jumping to the lower left corner (gnome desktop), clicking, and thereby calling the program tiles onto the screen. Then clicking again making the tiles disappear, clicking again calling the tiles,..... sometimes with quite a high frequency, turning the laptop pretty much useless when it's "trapped" in this state. Whatever you try it's always calling the tiles :-( This happens even if I'm not touching the notebook at all!! I couldn't find anything to influence this behavior. Even after rebooting it continues! But at some random point in time the jumping stops and the notebook can be used as before and works like a charm - until the jumping starts again.
Because I used the fix from @keringar (see above) the on screen keyboard is not coming any more. But for me it looks that the root cause of the osk popping up is the cursor jump/click. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723857 Title: onscreen keyboard appears whenever i touch touchscreen Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell source package in Artful: Triaged Bug description: Impact ====== I'm in 17.10.
