Comment 77 for bug 896922

Christopher, I have raised https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1268365

However this bug (896922) was originally created by Matthias after he was told do do so in similar circumstances on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773433, a bug which is now marked as Expired. I respect that you want to distinguish specific individual circumstances but this is a severe problem (I have had to restart psmouse twice while writing this) and creating separate unlinked bugs dilutes the impact, and presumably reduces the chances of it being looked at. From a quick google I found also these which look like exactly the same issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1165089 (raised 5/4/2013, also marked as Expired) and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1198274 (raised 5/7/2013, which you have put a similar comment on)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1261133 (raised 15/12/2013, which you have put a similar comment on)

Could we perhaps nominate one of these to be the the master issue and mark it with an appropriate severity, and mark the others all as duplicates?
