@Craig, if you're still seeing it with current 12.04, can you file a new bug? The logs and data on this report are out of date with precise, so I'm going to remove the tag.
Also, please reproduce using the stock ubuntu rather than kubuntu; some input handling is done in desktop services - this behavior is not necessarily guaranteed to be X.org. ** Tags removed: precise -- 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/426663 Title: Touching the mousepad while typing causes multiplication of next letter pressed and loss of subsequent keyboard input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/426663/+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
