Bug ID: 490784
Summary: Touchpad cursor hides while typing when setting
disabled
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_touchpad
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: name1...@outlook.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using System Settings to disable touchpad cursor hiding while typing, the
setting in gsettings is left not updated, so applications like Firefox, Kate
and Konsole have the cursor hidden while typing. This doesn't what's actually
set in System Settings.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open "System Settings"
2. Navigate to "Mouse and Touchpad"
3. Select "Touchpad"
4. Untick "Disable while typing"
5. Restart and login
6. Repeat steps 1-4
7. Open "Konsole"
8. Enter the command "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad
disable-while-typing"
OBSERVED RESULT
The value in gsettings is "true", in System Settings the "Disable while typing"
option is not ticked.
EXPECTED RESULT
The value in gsettings should be "false", not "true" and the System Settings
"Disable while typing" is not ticked. I expect applications may follow what's
set in gsettings rather than in system settings.

I use a laptop that has a touchpad. I don't use a mouse.
