Bug#881383: systemsettings: Touchpad settings don't actually work
Package: systemsettings
Version: 4:5.8.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
In Hardware->Input Devices->Touchpad->Enable/Disable Touchpad:
There is a checkbox "Disable touchpad while typing". However,
even when unchecked (and the system restarted), the touchpad
still disables itself whenever any key is pressed.
Debugging on IRC produced the following observations:
evtest *does* show touchpad events when keys are pressed
but xev does not
and libinput-debug-events does not
(libinput-debug-events --disable-dwt does, however).
libinput-list-devices mentions: Disable-w-typing: enabled
So apparently this is a driver switch or something? Where KDE is only
applying the settings to the driver that isn't actually used anymore.
