You can fix this by identifying which mouse / trackpad you have:
~ $ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ MSI WMI hotkeys id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
Then query the features of your trackpad:
~/M/New $ xinput --list-props 10

Pro-tip: You can use autocomplete with Fish shell
~/M/New $ xinput list-props
2 (Virtual core pointer) 7 (Video Bus)
3 (Virtual core keyboard) 8 (Power Button)
4 (Virtual core XTEST pointer) 9 (AT Translated Set 2 keyboard)
5 (Virtual core XTEST keyboard) 10 (ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad)
6 (Power Button) 11 (MSI WMI hotkeys)
Then just disable the automatic input blocking:
For example:
xinput --set-prop 10 310 0
Life-tip:
computers don't need to learn language to understand human processes.
teaching computers how to listen to voice commands (NLP) is kind of a one-trick pony.
