[Workaround]
At least here this is what returns my touchpad to being useful & prevents ALL the unintended nonsense from occurring
synclient LockedDrags=0 TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2
[Original bug description]
Not sure if proper source, wasn't the utouch libs
Recently here & with others the left click 'select' has been 'randomly' getting stuck on, causing the cursor to select everything in it's path & otherwise be unresponsive, ie. nothing can be clicked on.
At least here the effect lasts for about 20 -30 sec's, when it happens if stopping all activity the cursor & control return in that time frame
It is also seen on occasion as a 'stuck' grab, same deal, nothing can be done till something releases. Additionally I've a few instances where suddenly the left click is non-functional, again control returns within 20 -30 sec's
With a little practice have been able to cause this to happen within a few attempts, basically moving the cursor with left button depressed (highlight) combined with a small tap.
So will attach 2 video's with short descriptions
Disabling 'tap to click' has prevented this from happening inadvertently over a day long test

This was simply on the Desktop, once the left click 'stuck' I've released the left mouse button & am simply just moving the cursor with the touchpad. The cursor will not release & nothing else can be clicked on.
After the short stop control is returned
