I haven't yet attempted to track down whether it was this specific commit, but sometime in the last few days, my notebook mousepad began behaving very strangely. I'm seeing a few different symptoms: - The touchpad is much more sensitive than it was before, making it difficult to point it accurately at window borders, etc. - When I hold down the mouse buttons to drag, that appears not to register properly, so I can't resize windows easily. - Sometimes, the mouse cursor appears to stall and not move. It then rights itself, but I'm not sure why. psm now reports as "model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0" which I don't recall it doing previously.
