Core motion events include integers only, we should skip those that don't change (only in subpixel areas). Same applies to XI1 events. Testcase: move the mouse over xev, then set extremely high deceleration xinput --set-prop "<device name>" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1000, then move the mouse around. the cursor won't move much, but loads of motion events with the same coordinates are sent to the client.
I don't know what fixed it but I haven't seen this for a few days now (before that it was every few minutes).
Not happening for 1.7.0, punting to 1.7.1
Just noticed this, comment #1 was supposed to go to Bug 24011. The core motion events are still an issue.
feature request bug. this should not hold up any releases.
This is a mass change of bugs. Bugs assigned to me that haven't been updated in the last 3 years are closed as WONTFIX, because, well, let's at least be honest about it. Please do not re-open unless you have a really good reason to do so (e.g. you're fixing it yourself). If it hasn't been fixed in the last 3 years, it probably won't be fixed anytime soon either. Sorry.
