I can atest that as of today 10/15/2021 this bug is indeed present. I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with kernel "5.14.9-1-default" this annoying bug for me started arround 2 months ago and it is still present. At first i thought it was some weird hardware failure but i checked on my dmesg and i see the following;
[ 115.626674] psmouse serio3: TrackPoint at rmi4-00.fn03/serio0/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away. [ 152.287129] psmouse serio3: TrackPoint at rmi4-00.fn03/serio0/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.

PS: Upon rebooting, at the login screen in sddm i can actually use the trackpoint and its buttons but shoftly after 3-5 seconds i cant use it anymore -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787738 Title: [Thinkpad X220/E220s/E420s] trackpoint/trackpoint displays odd behaviour To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/787738/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
