So, I open my Book to take it out of sleep, I sit down to browse some news while I have my morning coffee. I open my browser and start to scroll through the news... but it doesn't work. Figured its the same bug I usually get where the touchpad acts up so I reboot it and try again. Still cannot scroll, this time I notice I can't scroll in anything not just the browser. I check the touchpad settings and this is what I see:

Has anyone else had their touchpad settings randomly disappear? What the heck?
 
It seems if the base isn't being detected then the settings disappear. I had the screen on backward, no settings. Put the screen on towards the keyboard and the trackpad settings appear.
 
Weird. All I did was open the lid and the touchpad stopped working, it wasn't detached or anything. Bleh.

I get this fairly often when the computer wakes up, two finger scrolling will no longer work and the trackpad settings are gone from the settings menu. If I detach and re-attach the screen it usually starts working again. It will happen 3 times in a row, and then not happen for 2 days, then do it again...

Kind of a pain.
