According to the announcement at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging/ the GNOME3 Staging PPA is no longer supported for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. If you have the PPA enabled on that release, please ppa-purge. Then you can optionally remain on 16.04 LTS or upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version if you want newer GNOME versions.
Ubuntu GNOME itself does not have this bug. For the remaining issue of GNOME touchpad settings not working correctly when xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10+, see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1686081 Due to the nature of that bug, I don't think it will be possible to fix that in current Ubuntu stable releases. ** No longer affects: mutter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586657 Title: Touchpad gsettings being ignored Status in GSettings Desktop Schemas: Unknown Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Fix Released Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I think this is just the touchpad, though I don't have a mouse to test this with so it could also be affecting the mouse or a wider range of settings. But I have found that after upgrading to GNOME 3.20 on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 that all my gsettings for things like natural scrolling and tap to click are being ignored and it doesn't matter what I have them set to, they are doing what they like. I have also seen others experiencing the same issues. This is what dconf-editor shows me the settings are set to: dconf-editor_touchpad_settings.png And yet even though the tap to click option is set to 'false', my touchpad is acting as though it has been set to 'true' ever since the upgrade, same for natural scrolling. As I have said, these are the only settings that I have noticed this with, however I have not really tested it with any of the others so I cannot say for sure how many settings this issue affects.
