In this recording, the pointer jumps from its position 3752/2216 to
1640/4681 within a single frame. On this particular touchpad, this would
represent a physical move of almost 50mm. libinput detects some of these
jumps and discards the movement but otherwise continues as usual. However,
the bug should be fixed at the kernel level.
jumps and discards the movement but otherwise continues as usual.
If your only encounter with these jumps is the warning printed to the log,
libinput functions as intended.
When you encounter the warning in the log, please generate a recording of
your touchpad with :ref:`libinput record <libinput-record>` and file a bug.
See :ref:`reporting_bugs` for more details.
Note that it most cases, libinput cannot actually fix the issue. Filing a
bug is useful to figure out if there are other factors at play or whether
there are heuristics we can employ to reduce the impact.
