evemu recording to reproduce the bug

System setup:
- Asus UX410UA laptop with i5-7200U CPU, Intel HD 620 graphics and French (AZERTY) keyboard
- Arch Linux, freshly updated at the time of writing (2017-08-16)
- Touchpad dimensions (as measured with a ruler, might be a little inaccurate): 103x73mm
- gnome-desktop 1:3.24.2-1
- libinput 1.8.1-1
- linux 4.12.6-1
- Tap-to-click and reverse scrolling enabled in GNOME settings


ISSUE: cursor sometimes starts jumping around erratically in response to human input, and stops after some keyboard input. See attached evemu-record output to reproduce. The bug occurs after just a few seconds. I've been unable to determine what triggers the bug; I started evemu-record after the trackpad started having the issue, which occurs once or twice a day.

Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2017-08-23 06:06:46 UTC 
Sorry, I'm not sure what I'm looking at here - this is almost 4 minutes of recordings which makes it hard to filter. At what timestamp does the erratic behaviour start?
Comment 2 yohaiberreby 2017-08-23 07:47:46 UTC 
Sorry for not providing more info. The bug starts after a second or so. In the recording, I'm making smooth, circular motions with my hand, but the mouse pointer does not move in circles - rather, it stops, jumps around, move up when it should be moving right, etc.
Comment 3 Alexander Mishurov 2017-08-23 20:43:54 UTC 
It may be a hardware issue because in my case a similar bug appears in Windows too.
Comment 4 Peter Hutterer 2017-09-06 06:00:53 UTC 
yohaiberreby: any chance you can verify this?
