you already filed this

[David DIDIER (ddidier)]

I did but the issue was modified and this part was deleted (to keep a single problem by issue I guess). And that shouldn't be confused with the touchpad toggle.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.

I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

[Expired for xorg (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
