This is your problem. A button left press comes 1ms after the previous button
release, libinput assumes that this is a bouncing button with a flaky contact
and enables button debouncing. From then on, button events are debounced, so
anything within the 12ms debounce timeout will be filtered. See

https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/button_debouncing.html

When you run libinput debug-events you should see a "Enabling button
debouncing" message when this happens. I question your ability to really
release and click within 1ms though :) I think we need some special timeout to
paper over multiple button releases, afaict this only happens when multiple
buttons change state.

There's another patch on the list atm that will have to be merged first before
we can fix this issue here though
