Description Yvan Masson 2018-02-22 08:20:30 UTC
Hi,

I am using Debian testing on a Dell E7440, which just switched libinput from 1.9.4-2 to 1.10.0-1. When I touch the touchpad, without moving the finger, the cursor vibrates. It does not depend on the pressure. Cursor does not move much, but it makes it difficult to click on precise areas.

Do not hesitate to ask if you need more information.

Best regards,
Yvan

Sorry for the duplicate, I just learnt the word "wobbly".

Thanks for the time and work,
Yvan

look for the term 'jitter' too, that's the more technical term. I just like "wobbly" :)
