Touchpad re-enables after resume from suspend

[Stéphane Graber]

I have a Lenovo X1 carbon (2017) with both a touchpad and trackpoint. I do not use the touchpad and so have it disabled in my mouse settings in Gnome.

Everything works as expected until I suspend and resume, at which point the touchpad is partly re-enabled. I can move the mouse with it but cannot click or scroll with it.

Going in the gnome settings, the touchpad is shown as disabled (as it should be) and so I have to toggle it back on and then back off to have it be disabled again, until the next suspend/resume cycle.

I'm using Gnome on up to date Artful with Wayland rather than X.

Reported against libinput at the request (in person) of Will Cooke.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm also seeing this issue with Wayland/GNOME on artful; any chance it might be addressed before artful releases?

It appears the opposite is also true in some cases. See bug 1728778.
