Since 4.0.0-rc something mu laptop has some mouse /keyboard problems.
When I play KDE kpatience, a card game, card stick to my mousepointer: left
mouse button down on a card, move mouse pointer and card to another place.
left mouse button up to drop the card. This should drop the card, but often
the mouse button up events gets stuck somewhere until I move he mouse
pointer a little bit.
In web based mail clients something similar happens when I drag mail to
another folder.
Sometime after I start a xterm and start typing, the letters don't appear
until move the mouse pointer.
Bisecting is out of the question. This kernel realease was so dramatic I was
glad to have functioning kde screen when rc4 arrived.
My laptop is a Dell Latitude D430, it has a touchpad and a pointer an two
sets of buttons.

Linus just merged 2 fixes to ALPS driver that might help you. Could
you please try compiling tip of the tree and telling me if it fixes
your issue?
I am at rc.7 and the problem is still there. But maybe you can get away with "user error". Here is a picture of the layout of my laptop:

Lets call the blue thing ts. The buttons directly beneath the keys ts-l and ts-r. For the touchpad tp, tp-l and tp-r. And because one can never have to many input devices um, um-l and um-r for a usb mouse.
When I play kpatience and stick to one device ts or ts-l or mp and mp-l no problems arise. I can also mix devices for example um and tp-l. There are several combinations. Only one of these ts and tp-l show the problematic behavior. This is the way i use my laptop (user error?)

Now something to distract you from the issue, something almost completely different. Something which is also present in 3.18 and probably before. Firefox and other programs have scrollbars on the right side. One can click on it, move the slider and release the button. Except with the combination tp and ts-l, It does not work. Al other combinations do.
Attached is a patch which fixes this for me on my d620, please test
both patches.
Thanks & Regards,
Hans

Subject: [PATCH 4.0 REGRESSION FIX] alps: Non interleaved V2 dualpoint has
separate stick button bits
Non interleaved V2 dualpoint touchpad / stick combos have separate stick
button bits in the touchpad packets, if we do not check these then the
trackpoint buttons will not work when using the touchpad, and when pressed
when the user starts using the touchpad will report a release event even
though the button is still pressed.
This commit fixes this by checking the separate bits, note that we simply
combine the buttons, since the hardware does the same when using the touchpad
buttons with the trackpoint, so we do not have enough information to properly
separate them.
