Is that a new state of affairs, caused by newer GTK version or changes
in Emacs?
The bug at hand is a new state of affairs caused by the Emacs migration
to XInput 2, which has exposed new bugs in GTK. In general, however,
GTK support for X11 has become steadily worse since 3.4.
I think it's the default on mine, too. Should I have noticed the problem?If not, the GTK3 build has been pretty stable for a lot of us, so
there's no point in deprecating it over an unusual use case. Or even a
bunch of them.
It's not being deprecated, just being demoted from the default.
Disabling the trackpad while typing is hardly an "unusual" use-case, and
even comes enabled by default on many systems.
