2007-01-26 16:51:30 Robert Collins description a couple updates ago my synaptics touch pad just started pasting things that i never even copied whenever i reply on these forums or when im talking on gaim.. it just decides it wants to paste when i try to move the mouse pointer.. then when im reading a webpage and i move the mouse it just starts to highlight everything out of nowhere.. im not telling it to click, but it swears thats what im doing so i tap the pad just to move the mouse and it pastes, or highlights.. when im goign though the menu's (applications places system) it selects the wrong program when i lift my finger and put it down again (after i reach the end of the touchpad and need to scroll further) its driving me nuts, i even did a clean install and it still does it.. tried gsynaptics and when i tell it to disable tap click it still does it ive tried max tap time=0 and that would work for awhile then the problems would still occur.. this is a very criplling problem that didnt happen early on in the dapper stage By default in Ubuntu the touchpad always detects taps. In other operating systems tap detection is disabled when users are typing. This is currently achieved using an insecure mechanism - a shared memory region. This shared memory region is disabled under Ubuntu because it is a possible security hole. The driver should be changed to allow tap detection to be controlled via the X protocol, which would allow this to be done securely, and would make it work correctly. There is a workaround that can be used: setting MaxTapTime 0 in the xorg.conf.
