Bug#729200: [xserver-xorg-input-synaptics] Still an issue in jessie/stretch

[Cihan Altinay <c.altinay@uq.edu.au>]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 1.8.2-1

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

This is still a major issue in current debian. There is a patch on the 
launchpad bug page which appears to solve the issue for people, however 
I haven't tried it myself yet.
