Thanks for your response, that sounds very plausible.

I feel it may have something to do with disabling the touchpad.
There used to be a straightforward Disable/Enable Touchpad setting,
but now it seems to have been "improved" so you have to say when
you want it disabled, eg disable during typing.

But the sole cause of this screen-locking, in my case,
is movement of the cursor - possibly faster movement than normal.
