evemu-record reproducing the bug

I have an Acer Aspire V5-573PG with Synaptics touchpad, running Debian testing distribution.

The libinput version installed is 1.8.2-1.

When moving the pointer with the touchpad, when trying to make precise and slow movements, the cursor makes jumps instead of moving precisely between continuous pixels. This behaviour is not the one expected, as with the Synaptics driver the precision in this type of movement is perfect, as it is in Windows too.

Evemu-record file reproducing the bug attached.

The udevadm info returns:
