Comment 3 for bug 1959494

Hi,

The reason I raised it as a security issue is because the issue came up
after I connected to public wifi. It resolves itself sometimes but when I
connect to wifi again the cursor freezes up and I have to use a mouse. The
touchpad issue might not be a security risk but I believe it is a symptom
of a breach. Please look into this.

Thanks for the support
