Public bug reported:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open System Settings -> Input Devices -> Touchpad -> Enable/Disable
Touchpad, ensure "Disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in" is checked.
2. Connect external USB keyboard (I tested with MS Natural Keyboard, USB ID
045e:00db)
3. Touchpad is disabled.
4. Disconnect external keyboard
5. Touchpad is re-enabled.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Touchpad would remain enabled as long as an external
pointing device is not connected.
WORKAROUND: Uncheck "Disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in".
HARDWARE NOTES: Tested on an HP ProBook 640 G1 and a Microsoft Natural
Keyboard 4000 v1.0. This keyboard does not have a built-in trackpad or
other pointing device; and according to "lsusb -v -d 045e:00db" it
supports both bInterfaceProtocol 1 "Keyboard" and bInterfaceProtocal 0
"None".
LOG MESSAGES: I see this in syslog, which could be related. The keyboard is
registered as both an HID "Keyboard" and as an HID "Device'.
