Disappearing events for buttons 4 and 5

Hello
I'm a Slackware-current user ; I've just "migrated" from xf86-input-evdev to xf86-input-libinput 0.23.0 ( + libinput 1.5.4 + xorg-server 1.19.1 ) and X "eats" the first scroll event, each time the scroll direction changes.
One simple example :
- before (with evdev), when I wanted to change virtual desktops, I moved my mouse pointer over the root window and scrolled. Once. And it worked immediately.
- now (with libinput), I move the mouse pointer over the root window and scroll. And maybe if I'm lucky it changes virtual desktops, and maybe not.
Any other examples :
- move the mouse pointer over a window with a scrollbar, scroll repeatedly up/down/up/down and nothing will move
I use a mouse (not a touchpad) and I haven't tested this with a touchpad (yet). This particular hardware works just fine with xf86-input-evdev (2.10.4 in my case, but it has been working normally for years with previous versions).
xev shows that the event is not even generated (nothing appears when I "scroll" inside its window), meaning it's not hardware-related nor application-related : there's something in libinput or the drivers that ignores a button press when it's pressed for the first time after the press of another button.
