It wasn't pulled in relation to this issue.  It was something else. 
Nothing I'm aware of in the 1.4.3 BIOS changes should have made this any
worse than previously.  Maybe something else in the stack moved that
exaggerated the problem or you started palming the touchpad more?

Your Tested-by: is that meaning that it's fixed entirely for you?  Not
getting stuck at all now?

Thanks,
