Public bug reported:
After installing bionic on two thinkpads (x131e, x230), I've noticed
that once you stop motion on the trackpoint (and possibly apply a
miniscule amount of pressure on it after stopping), the cursor will jump
in the direction of the previous motion by a small amount. This makes
the computer incredibly difficult to use as you can't accurately target
things. Furthermore, the speed of the cursor has increased
substantially.
I have a slow motion video captured on an iPhone that demonstrates this
behaviour but I can't upload it at this moment. If someone wants to see
it, I might be able to post it later.
I've also narrowed down the problem to libinput. I bisected the
different releases via the debian sources (with the packages built from
them) and narrowed it to some changes between 1.8 and 1.9. This makes
sense as I previously didn't notice this behaviour on Artful, which is
on libinput 1.8. This issue affects all distros as well, given that it's
a libinput issue.
I also tested the latest libinput, 1.10.7, and it does NOT resolve this
issue.
