            Bug ID: 103811
           Summary: libinput 1.9.0 → 1.9.1 triggers random events
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Hi-Angel at yandex.ru

Sorry, this bug is very hard to describe, and I couldn't find a minimal test
case, so I don't even know what info to provide.

Sometimes for playing games, the game starts thinking that left mouse button is
being held, so e.g. player starts unstopabbly shooting. Clicking mouse buttons
doesn't help, the problem either goes away on its own, or pulling off/on the
cable helps. It happens with right mouse button too, but more rare.

At first I thought my mouse is getting broken, but then I noticed a few times
how in game "space" button stopped working. In that case pulling off/on the
keyboard cable doesn't help, only full restart of the game does (or it may go
away on its own). Also, 2 times when that happened and I switched to a
workspace with konsole, a context menu popped up.

I started trying different versions of libinput, and noted that this is
reproducible on 1.9.1, definitely not reproducible on 1.8.3, and I couldn't
reproduce on 1.9.0. It generally happens within 5 minutes of gameplay in
Xonotic (probably due to very intensive clicking — in Manhunt game it may
happen after ½ a hour of gameplay). `journalctf` doesn't have anything when
this happens.

Outside of games for 13 days of using 1.9.1 I noticed the problem only once —
Pidgin started thinking that left mouse button is held, and my cursor followed
selection until I restarted Pidgin.
