Happens also with g-s-d
Current Test case:
On a laptop with a usb mouse connected disable touchpad in system settings > Mouse & Touchpad
Reboot
Touchpad will be re-enabled
Test case 2:
with touchpad disabled suspend laptop
after coming out of suspend touchpad will be re-enabled
Could be related to this -
with external mouse connected disable touchpad, it will stop working.
remove external mouse, touchpad is immediately re-enabled.
Possibly during the course of normal use, restarts ect. it is 'sensed' that the mouse is not connected & touchpad -enabled is mistakenly restored?
