Bug Description

Hp laptop with touchscreen
When closing the laptop lid (suspend, lockscreen off) for several hours large amounts of activity occur.
These include -
opening apps
changing settings
creating new files & folders
opening existing files
changing window configs
logging out of session
logging into guest session

Will attach
various screenshots with short descriptions

Obviously suspend is overridden & this is possibly the result of crosstalk between the touchpad & screen
