"Disable touchpad while typing" does not work

[forteller]

I've seen some similar bugreports, but none exactly like this. In my Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 "Disable touchpad while typing" does not work at all. I can both move the cursor and click with it while typing. But the manual way of turning off the touchpad with the Fn key works fine.

Let me know if I can do anything to help the process of tracking down and fixing this bug in any way (except coding, which I can't).

Does the Mouse settings use the syndaemon under the hood? If yes, that could be the reason of the problem, as enabling the syndaemon with the -t option results in the same state. However, using the interval value and the -d option, it works just fine.
