Public bug reported: I don't know if xinput is the correct package to report this against but the touchpad has been messed up since 19.04 and it hasn't changed in 19.10. 18.04 worked normally.
The symptom is basically that when tracking the pointer horizontally it moves very jerkily. Vertical movement is slightly better but still seems off. If I should report this against a difference package, let me know which one.
