[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1323006] Re: touchpad too sensitive. focus jumps all over document on text input
Well, on trusty XRecord was not working, so -R was a noop. I've uploaded a fix for trusty to ppa:canonical-x/x-staging .

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1323006] Re: touchpad too sensitive. focus jumps all over document on text input
Maarten, System76 has been using a patched unity-settings-daemon that launches syndaemon with: syndaemon -i 0.75 -K -R This has worked extremely well for us on Trusty (and we have solid customer survey data confirming that this has greatly improved the user experience). However, something strange is going on with xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Utopic. If you get syndaemon into its disabled state by typing a quick burst of characters, you can often keep it stuck in this disabled state by moving your finger back and forth on the track pad. It seems as if the inactivity countdown isn't starting till there is a period when neither any keypresses nor any mouse movement has happened. Can you think of any changes that might have cause this behavior? Steps to reproduce: 1) open gedit 2) move finger back and forth on clickpad, confirm that cursor is moving back and forth 3) while continuing to move finger back and forth on the clickpad, type a few characters... cursor should disappear 4) cursor should be re-enabled around 0.75 seconds after you stop typing, but sometimes it will remain stuck in the disabled mode as long as there is more or less continuous motion on the clickpad 5) if stuck in the disabled state, it seems briefly lifting your finger off the track pad is reliable way to unstick it -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1323006/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1323006] Re: touchpad too sensitive. focus jumps all over document on text input
Ok so the bug seems to be that syndaemon -R doesn't work correctly, sometimes not finding keys if you're unlucky. I'm pushing out a updated xserver-xorg-input-synaptics to fix this.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1323006] Re: touchpad too sensitive. focus jumps all over document on text input
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 Ubuntu-X, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1323006/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
