I'm having the same problem as initially reported by Tessa, but with Xubuntu 18.04.1 on a HP ProBook 430 G6:
> When selecting "disable while typing" under the touchpad section of the > "Mouse & Touchpad" > preferences, nothing changes, the touchpad stays active while typing. Shall I open a separate issue, since I guess this is hardware dependent? I've gathered the following information: # 2 Touchpad devices show up in "Mouse and Touchpad" configuration (XFCE), but seem to point to the same device (see xinput listing below). # Running: "syndaemon -i 1.3 -K -R" # xinput: Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] - Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] - SYNA3083:00 06CB:8265 Touchpad id=10 [slave pointer (2)] - SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)] This is the only issue on this hardware. The rest runs *awesome* out of the box!

I can rapidly type multiple characters with my left hand and continue to move the cursor with the touchpad with my right hand. I can see from my processlist that syndaemon is running with the following options: 2185 ? S 1:31 | \_ syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R First, the -t option isn't what's expected with this setting, it should disable the touchpad entirely. Also, it doesn't seem to even do that correctly, as I can definitely click the touchpad while typing as well as moving the cursor.
