Description Tony Zhang 2017-02-16 06:18:10 UTC 
The trackpoint is only supposed to scroll when the middle button is pressed. But sometimes, it scrolls even when no buttons are pressed at all. It happens quite often, usually occurring every several minutes. When it happens, I have to left click to stop it from scrolling on its own. Please fix this annoying glitch! Thank you very much for reading.

run sudo evemu-record against the trackpoint device. Does it send random BTN_MIDDLE events?
Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2017-02-20 23:44:54 UTC 
ping?
