Touchy trackpad not tamed by libinput

I've hit the wall with this trackpad. I'm CONSTANTLY typing away only to find the the slightest whisper of my thumb against the trackpad changes focus and leads to chaos - either wasted keystrokes or typing into the wrong app / window and so on.

I have libinput under touchpad set to

Code:Option "Tapping" "on"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "on"
Option "TappingDrag" "on"
Option "TappingDragLock" "off"I know the code is working since tapping is indeed activated and does not work without that entry. But DisableWhileTyping (if it's doing anything) is nowhere near to getting the job done.

I use a window manager so there's no control panel for mouse settings, but even in xfce4 it's persnickety.

Any suggestions?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=vWSgUyCDU6M:1M0qkQtdMJg:F7zBnMy latest?i=vWSgUyCDU6M:1M0qkQtdMJg:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=vWSgUyCDU6M:1M0qkQtdMJg:gIN9vFwvWSgUyCDU6M
