Could you please type/run the command "dmesg" from a terminal and see if you see anything like the following:

psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 4

 If so this is a know issue and is being tracked at bug #69322

Yep its the same bug i guess. Since it worked fine in dapper would this be considered a regression?

I believe they moved from using the standard Xfree driver to a specific Synaptics driver that although has more features also has some "issues". I have noticed that in the newer releases this is working much better, but I wouldn't call it fixed. Until then I am marking this bug as a duplicate of bug #34501. Thanks for the bug report.
