Closing a laptop lid with touchpad enabled & a touchscreen display can lead to massive misbehaviors

[Doug McMahon]

Hp laptop with touchscreen
When closing the laptop lid (suspend, lockscreen off) for several hours large amounts of activity occur.
These include -
opening apps
changing settings
creating new files & folders
opening existing files
changing window configs
logging out of session
logging into guest session

Will attach
various screenshots with short descriptions

Obviously suspend is overridden & this is possibly the result of crosstalk between the touchpad & screen

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
