While you are an expert well versed in these details, I am an ordinary user. I can understand what you are saying. I still think that it is for those in the development team to look at such problems experienced by users and decide further course of action. If nothing can be done it may be best to re...

I agree with what you say about typing text. I have not yet tried different speeds of typing to confirm your explanation. I feel when I do, it will confirm your explanation. But what would justify the touchpad remaining active after one selects the option "Disable touchpad when a mouse is attac...

With your suggestion, I am able to work along getting over the problem. But I will still wait for someone from the developers team to respond to my query: "But I am still wondering whether the failure of the application which is meant to control these options displayed in Mint Cinnamon, has dra...

Thank you very much to suggest a way out. I have added custom shortcuts under System Settings-Keyboard-Shortcuts for "Disable Touchpad" and "Enable Touchpad". And now I manually use these shortcuts when I need them. While typing a document, these shortcuts come in very handy. Tha...

Many thanks. I will certainly try it.
But it will be interesting to know if this problem is experienced on Mint Cinnamon by others too, or is it limited on account of something specific in only some laptops ( I use HP 250 G5 notebook).

I am on Mint 20.1 Ulyssa - Cinnamon. In System Settings-touchpad, I have selected options to "Disable Touchpad when mouse attached" and "Disable Touchpad while typing". But none of these selections work. I use a wireless mouse. Touchpad remains active simultaneously with the mous...

I just 'upgraded' from Mint 19.2 to 19.3, Cinnamon 2 days ago, using the automatic upgrade option. The upgrade went smooth without any hitch. In the release notes and new features, I read that 19.3 is supposed to have Celluloid for multimedia player, but my system still has Xplayer as the default an...

I have Mint 19.2 Cinnamon, fully updated. When I switch to 'INDIAN' keyboard, no key works in the default text editor (I believe it is Edx). Keys also do not work in file manager. All keys work properly when I am in Libre office. Anyone having a solution?

After some searching and trial, I was able to install the Inscript keyboard for Hindi language. Here is what finally worked: From the software manager in Mint, install "ibus" and "ibus-m17n" In the menu search bar, type "ibus". It will show up "ibus preferences&quo...

No, this did not help. I still have not been able to find out how to get the standard INSCRIPT keyboard working (on Mint 18.2 now). For typing in a n umber of Indian languages, more particularly in Hindi, Inscript is the accepted standard in India. There were earlier many keyboards under various oth...

I have Mint 18.1 serena, and have installed ibus and hindi language. But I am not able to find and install INSCRIPT keyboard, which is the stndard keyboard for typing in Indian languages, including hindi. I do find INDIAN as one of the keyboard options, but it is not the same as the standard INSCRIP...

I have been experiencing the problem which is the subject of this thread for sometime. I want to add here my experience, as it may help someone trying to fix the problem. I have Linux Mint Serena (18.1),Cinnamon, and in System Settings - Administration - Login Window I have the following settings: E...

I am having a similar problem while using Mint Cinnamon Sarah - wifi connection is not only lost when resuming from suspend, but my wifi network also does not show up in the list. I have to restart the system to get back wifi again. From the above it looks that the cause has been found and a modific...

I am using Mint 18 cinnamon. For sometime now I have been experiencing mouse click problem. Most of the time, a single click works like multiple clicks. I have set single click to select and double click to open. But most often, single click on a folder in file browser results in the folder opening ...

Thank you very much for your help.
The problem is now fully solved.

I am sorry for a long break. I started afresh and created a new 'test' user once again. This time I copied to it just the .config directory of my user account, since I knew that was causing the problem. On checking 'test' it was confirmed that the test account too had developed the search problem. T...

It seems to be going right, now.Thanks a lot.
I tried with .config deleted first. And it worked!
What next now?

Thank you for your trouble.
I did exactly as instructed.
The original problem is still as it was.
