With that patch by Chase, I also wonder what would happen if two touch devices were used simultaneously.
When I both touch my screen and click my conventional mouse button, I get two button events, but the state is the bitwise or of both, so the second click will be "pressed button 1 while button 1 was pressed". Makes sense, in a certain way, although it might well confuse some applications. But what if I had two touch devices controlling the core pointer? I believe it is likely with the current setup that in this case, the second device would generate a ButtonPress with state 0x000. Or is it impossible for more than one touch device to control the core pointer at a given time? I don't have more than one device, so I can't test this. I'll agree that given current technology, this seems a rather rare corner case, and probably not worth the effort to deal with properly. But any shortcomings in that respect should perhaps at least be documented somewhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1015183 Title: Inconsistent mouse events for Acer T231H multitouch monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1015183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
