Been looking into this further and found that it only affected affected one account on the computer - the other accounts worked as expected. Eventually found that the impacted account had a syndaemon command running at Startup to disable the touchpad whilst typing, as this function didn't work in System Settings. However, the setting to Disable touchpad whilst typing was still set in System Settings. Turning off this setting seems to have cured the problem. Obviously the original bug that causes the "Disable touchpad whilst typing" system setting not to work still needs to be addressed.
