I think it's the following bug i'm experiencing:

But how do I check if I have multiple syndaemon running?

If you uncheck the option "Disable touchpad while typing" in System Settings, does it help?

Ckon Mapy (koupykon) said : #7

Hi! I am living the same experience and in my settings there is no more the tab for unchecking "Disable touchpad while typing" it has just disapeared... I really don't know why?!?

Can you help with this problem?
