The option for disabling the touchpad while typing does not work in Settings/Mouse & Touchpad in Ubuntu 15.04 (The setting seems to be gone in 15.10??)
I have tried installing 'Pointer Devices' from the software centre, it did not help (settings did not get persisted).
I have seen this and it did not help; I have restarted syndaemon with syndaemon -i 1 -KRd
and I can still move the mouse while typing.
Is this a bug? Are there any workarounds?
Could this be caused by a tochscreen being present along with a touchpad?
