Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Release: Hardy i386 up to date 19th April 2008
Hardware: Macbook Pro sec generation (core2duo, which has a built in usb
trackpad) and any external usb mouse
Expected:
To be able to use the keyboard and external mouse at the same time.
Actual:
When pressing keys on the keyboard (apart from shift, ctrl, etc...) the mouse
is paused for around a second.
Detailed:
When typing the mouse is disabled for around a second. I am assuming this is
due to synaptics disabling the trackpad and taking the mouse out with it.
This is a problem because it means I can't play any games that require the
mouse and the keyboard at the same time (ie. Nexuiz, Alien Arena, etc...).
It is also a productivity pain as I often use the keyboard to switch
desktops and then the mouse for an application on the desktop I have
switched to.
As a fix either the default needs to be to disable mouse clicks with
touchpad as default and then remove the mouse pause, have some kind of
degree of separation between the mouse and trackpad for this setting, or
have an option in the mouse/trackpad config to enable/disable this.
