            Bug ID: 90501
           Summary: Accept (some) touches after palm detection timeout
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: ASSIGNED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: peter.hutterer at who-t.net

With the disable-while-typing palm detection timeout, a touch starting within
the timeout won't be able to control the cursor once the timeout expires. That
looked good on paper (resting the palm on the touchpad is possible) but is
quite annoying in practice.

We need to be smarter here, probably best add some motion threshold so that if
a touch moves beyond that threshold after the timeout it is released for
pointer control.
