Description Bill Rosmus 2017-07-16 01:48:26 UTC
If I remove the mouse dongle (wireless mouse) the system is not recognizing this. I have the touchpad configured to turn off if a mouse is plugged in. When I remove the mouse, the touchpad does not activate. This happens if I do this with with the laptop on, or when I turn the laptop off, have the mouse dongle removed, and then turn the laptop back on. I had to go find a mouse to borrow so that I could get into system settings and deactivate the checkbox that is used to control this (checkbox: disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in). I had removed the mouse before I went somewhere. This is on an ASUS ROG GL753VE-DS74.

Next time this happens: Alt+F2 touchpad Enter, then Tab to navigate, or Alt+letter for quick access. No mouse needed to reactivate.

Hello! This bug report concerns the Synaptics version of the Touchpad page, which is no longer supported in Plasma 6. Can you please see if the issue still happens when using Libinput? If so, please change the status back to "REPORTED." If not, go ahead and change it to "RESOLVED FIXED", or let the bot do it automatically after a month. Thanks!
