Comment 7 for bug 197121

I opened bug 203296 " [hardy] Drag fails with keyboard stick and touchpad buttons" yesterday that dupes this.

Jean-Remy, is it when you use the keyboard-stick and the bottom set of buttons? I too have a Dell, a D820.

Benji2, I have synaptics enabled. This driver enables the "palmcheck" that briefly disables the touchpad while you are typing. Without this feature it is really frustrating to type and bump the tp, sending the cursor to god-knows where.
