Bug ID: 90527
Summary: Allow resting the thumb on the touchpad while moving
the pointer
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
Follow-up from Bug 90261.
Resting the thumb on the touchpad causes scroll events when the finger is
moved.
Two immediate ideas come to mind here:
* define some sort of exclusion zone on the touchpad where the thumb may come
to rest, similar to software buttons
* define some maximum distance threshold for a touch to count as two-finger
scroll, which would probably go hand-in-hand with Bug 90526
Ideally we could identify a thumb, but that's likely only possible on the apple
touchpads.
