When using Ubuntu 12.04, if I happen to touch one of the extreme edges of my touchpad, my cursor spontaneously jumps to the top left corner of the screen. I have tried disabling all touchpad features within system settings, but this behavior persists.

Is this a bug or a "feature" gone wrong? Can anybody help me out? Thanks.

  • Similar behaviour here - except it jumps to the bottom left sporadically, almost always when I am about to use my left hand to left-click at the bottom left of the touchpad, and my right hand is elsewhere near (i.e. just touching on or above) the touchpad.

It seems to be some problem in your touchpad drivers. Try the following command:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
