Sounds like this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/868400

For the moment there are several ways to address - if disabling the touchpad while typing is not something you need then simply
Click on the session-indicator icon in upper panel, far right
Go to System Settings > Mouse & Touchpad > Touchpad
Disable, (uncheck), the 1st. option under the 'General' settings (Disable touchpad while typing

If you do need the option enabled then post back, there is a way to enable it directly thru syndaemon that would cause the bug.

Doug McMahon (mc3man) is correct. Just try with it. Disable touchpad while typing. I had this problem, and i did the same, my problem got solved. Thankyou.
