turning on/off the touchpad with openoffice loaded causes infinite openoffice help center windows to appear

[Santiago Roland]

turning off/on the touchpad with openoffice loaded causes infinite openoffice help center windows to appear and fore quit window dialog appears and that is all, i quite often turn off my touchpad to write without moving accidentally the mouse arrow, and when finish write, again turning in the touchpad. Compaq Presario F700, Ubuntu 8.10, kernel -11 32 bit,

cheers.

Hi santiago-roland,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

I suspect this is a mixup in keyboard key code propagation or something.

same problem with xubuntu on hp compaq presario a900
boot with touchpad disabled
open up a terminal session
press enable touchpad button
hundreds of ======================================'s will appear

workaround wait a bit press esc + return + return
touchpad button then works normally
