Bug/Issue (Linux Mint) Touchpad doesn't work when moving

Using Linux Mint 19 64bit game in Fullscreen mode

If my player is moving via the arrow keys, the touchpad won't recognize input. I have to move the player, then stop where I want him/her, then I am able to use the touchpad.

Let me know if there's more information you need, I will gladly supply what I can.



Okay, discovered this wasn't a Stardew Valley bug, but a problem in my Linux.

Not sure how to delete a thread that I've created, or if only a forum mod can do that. But I did also find the solution to my problem, so maybe this should stay if someone else has the same issue.

I found the solution on Stack Exchange:

The problem I was having involved the "Disable While Typing Enabled" feature of my trackpad. These are the steps I used to solve it.

1. Make sure xinput is installed.
   
   
2. Type xinput to find the name of the trackpad device. mine was "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"
   
   
3. xinput --list-props "DEVICE" to list the properties of the device
   
   
4. Go through the list until you find something like "Disable While Typing"
   
   
5. Use xinput --set-prop "DEVICE" ID_OF_PROPERTY 0. For me, this was xinput --set-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" 294 0
