Chrome OS should disable touchpad while Typing

Reported by noremac...@gmail.com, May 19 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
When typing, if your palm touches the touchpad, your typing cursor can move and cause issues.

What is the expected behavior?
The user should have the option to disable the touchpad while typing, so typing is uninterrupted.

What went wrong?
Typing cursor can be moved unintentionally leading to typographical errors.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.102  Channel: stable
OS Version: 50
Flash Version:

The touchpad has logic to ignore things that look like palms, whether you're typing or not.  Can you file a feedback report just after you see bad behavior?  Append "@adlr" to the description and ping this bug once you have done so.

Also, I'll note that we do block the TP while typing, but the delay is very small b/c we don't want any negative behavior to be noticed.

No feedback from original reporter.  Since we have no way to know whether there's something else going on with their machine (and since typing + touchpad works well for me), closing this bug.
