Created attachment 130683 [details] "mouse" arrow doesn't move recording Problem: Along the bottom length (left to right) of the trackpad does not cause the mouse arrow to move. If I put my finger in this area at the bottom of the trackpad and swipe left to right, nothing happens to the mouse arrow. But if I tap in this same area, the cursor will be moved to that location. Weird. So I've captured this with evemu-record. The first second is just a random tap to make the cursor visible; from 5s onward I am swiping left to right to left in this area, and the "mouse" arrow does not move at all.

That bottom section is the software button area and we intentionally suppress movement in that area to avoid cursor movement on clicks. For details, see https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/clickpad_softbuttons.html To avoid this behaviour switch to the 'clickfinger' click method, gnome-tweak-tool exposes this in the Keyboard and Mouse section. What clickfinger is is also explained in the above link. I'm closing this one, let me know if I've misunderstood something here.
