Bug#876198: libinput10: Can't initiate a touchpad motion near a corner
Package: libinput10
Version: 1.8.2-1
Severity: normal
When using GNOME on Wayland I can't move the pointer with the touchpad
if I initially start touching it near a corner. Even if I drag my finger
across the middle from the corner, the pointer doesn't move, and no
events are shown in libinput-debug-events. If I do the opposite, ie
start the motion near the middle of the touchpad, it continues to track
my finger correctly if I move it into the corners.
I only noticed this recently, so it's probably something in the most
recent version to enter Debian. GNOME on Xorg is not affected; AIUI
GNOME on Wayland uses libinput, and something else on Xorg, so I guessed
this is the culprit package.
