Bug Description

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 I have been having trouble with both Wayland and Xorg. Xorg seems the most stable of the two, so I am attempting to use it, however, I am having an issue with the touchpad that is causing problems.

Specifically, the touchpad is not responding to the controls as defined in the settings. I have selected the "Disable while typing" option for the touchpad, however it is still active full-time. This is continually causing problems as I bump the touchpad with my palm while typing and it randomly selects something else on the display or moves the cursor to a new location. This makes data entry almost impossible with the touchpad active. When I attempt to turn it of, again it does not respond to the selection.

Thanks
