For me replacing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics with xserver-xorg-input-libinput made the clickpad (a touchpad without fisical buttons) very usable and without cursor jumps.

By default libinput enables multitouch gestures for scrolling, 2-finger clicks (right button) and 3-finger clicks (middle button) but I think you can adapt the configuration file to enable right button clicks on the clickpad instead of the 2-finger option.

All I had to do was:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinput
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

..and reboot
