X1C3:~$ pacman -Qi libinput
Name           : libinput
Version        : 1.1.0-1


I find when I click drag something and let go of the click, the tap or
the fact that I have the edge of my palm on the trackpad, carries on
with the drag. I need to disable this undesirable behaviour.

I am not sure how to configure to stop this behaviour.

I need an evemu-record of said click+drag event sequence please so I can reproduce this locally.
Comment 2 Kai Hendry 2015-11-16 03:34:28 UTC
Sorry, after trying to reproduce this issue and thinking about it:

I don't want to trackpad to do drag events. I want dragging only to work with the Trackpoint, not the trackpad. Since with the trackpad I mistakenly make poor selections and drags.

I just want to use the trackpad to move and scroll. But when a click modifier is made, I don't want the trackpad to be used for the fear of it messing up my selection by being too sensitive.

sorry, I don't understand the description above. In libinput we don't have a drag event, there are only motion and button events. Dragging is achieved whenever a motion event happens after a button was pressed.

If I read Comment 2 right you want the touchpad to not send events while a button is down. If so, that's not something we support and I don't have plans to add this. It's better to focus on the real issue which seems to be that the touchpad is too sensitive?
