Pointer keeps moving after finger stops

[reedje777]

There's a touchpad bug where the cursor keeps moving in the direction I was moving even after my finger stops moving. It moves just a little bit, like 2 milimeters. It's as if the cursor was affected by momentum. The issue only occurs when I stop moving my finger but still keep my finger on the touchpad. If I drag my finger and then lift it off from the touchpad, the cursor stops moving immediately after my finger is lifted. The bug will also cause the pointer cursor to jump to the bottom of the page occasionally.

I'm about to smash the notebook into the concrete if I can't resolve this issue. It's driving me nuts!
