Joseph, as I mentioned the bug was present in 15.10 as well. I could not test it with Ubuntu older than 15.10.

When I rest my palm on the screen and then hover my stylus above the screen so that the stylus is recognized and the mouse pointer follows it, and then move the stylus around Gnome seems to freeze for some seconds. The duration of the freeze is proportional to the time the notebook received simultaneous input from the two methods. "Freeze" means that the screen is not updated. Keyboard inputs that I make during the freeze would be executed after the freezing stops. I do not need to touch the screen with the stylus for the bug to occur. The bug occurs also when I actually touch the screen with the stylus. What I expect to happen (and what actually happens in all stylus- supporting tablets, running with Android or Windows) is that the input from the touch screen is rejected as long as the stylus is hovering above the screen. I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 (non-LTS) with the latest packages. The problem was present in 15.10 as well. I attach a script as a workaround solution. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: timeshifter 1787 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: timeshifter 1787 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=87cca434-274f-4464-9598-97fd7a1338fe InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-03-19 (111 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) MachineType: LENOVO 20C0003SFR Package: linux (not installed) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-28-generic root=UUID=e52c99ea-9646-4e8a-b8ad-c47b175ac5a3 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-28.47-generic 4.4.13 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.4.0-28-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.4.0-28-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.157.1 Tags: xenial Uname: Linux 4.4.0-28-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-07-02 (6 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare scanner sudo vboxusers wireshark _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 04/29/2016 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: B0ET33WW (1.20 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20C0003SFR dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: SDK0E50510 WIN dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrB0ET33WW(1.20):bd04/29/2016:svnLENOVO:pn20C0003SFR:pvrThinkPadS1Yoga:rvnLENOVO:rn20C0003SFR:rvrSDK0E50510WIN:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 20C0003SFR dmi.product.version: ThinkPad S1 Yoga dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1600371/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
