tool inadvertently disables pointer

[Tommy Trussell]

Binary package hint: gpointing-device-settings

Installed Gpointing-Device-Settings on Acer Aspire one D260-2380 and enjoyed tweaking trackpad features.

Accidentally dragged "Maximum Speed" slider (on the Speed tab) all the way to the Left, which completely disabled pointer. Had to find a USB mouse to "rescue" the pointer.

I suggest the tool should check this slider for "sane" settings and not allow "max" to be set to zero OR if there is a reason to do so, give the user a keyboard shortcut for adjusting or restoring the settings.

This package has been removed from the Ubuntu development release, so I am closing all remaining open bug reports.

Sorry that we couldn't fix your problem properly, but gpointing-device-settings is dead upstream, buggy and completely unmaintained.

Thank you for your understanding and please continue to report any bugs you may find.
