Bug Description

after a while of usage the cursor might start to jump around randomly very quickly and also begin to click sometimes randomly. it cannot be stopped permanently. it will eventually get stuck in a place and will not respond to any input any longer until reboot.
once this random movements started, reboot will only fix it for a short amount of time.

switching from advanced touchpad to basic will not eliminate this bug.

It seems more like a hardware fault than a Ubuntu bug since I tried several distros and it always occurs. Even in Windows, cursor behaves not normal (gets stuck, no jumping but still faulty behaviour).
I sent the machine for repair.
