Description Matthew Garrett 2012-11-27 00:55:23 UTC 
Under 3.6, if a user with a touchpad clicks the on/off toggle on the touchpad preferences, the touchpad will immediately turn off. The user then has no straightforward way to re-enable the touchpad - they need to work out that hitting "enter" on the keyboard will do it, and if they manage to accidentally close the window first then that's going to be awkward for them.
