Comment 0 for bug 1579506

This is most probably a once-in-a-million-years bug, it has just happened now and I had never seen this before; but it's so huge that it must be investigated and fixed. Don't tell me you can't reproduce, I know that.

At home I usually connect an external keyboard, mouse and screen to my laptop, using it as a desktop computer. Every once in a while I unplug everything and take the laptop to another room and keep using it, without suspending or shutting down.

I just did that and the touchpad has stopped working. I have no mouse right now. Since I don't know how to access the system menu with the keyboard only (if that's possible at all), I will launch a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T and restart the system by typing "reboot".
