@page touchpad_jumping_cursor Touchpad jumping cursor bugs
A common bug encountered on touchpads is a cursor jump when alternating
between fingers on a multi-touch-capable touchpad. For example, after moving
the cursor a user may use a second finger in the software button area to
physically click the touchpad. Upon setting the finger down, the cursor
exhibits a jump towards the bottom left or right, depending on the finger
position.
When libinput detects a cursor jump it prints a bug warning to the log with
the text <b>"Touch jump detected and discarded."</b> and a link to this page.
In most cases, this is a bug in the kernel driver and to libinput it appears
that the touch point moves from its previous position. The pointer jump can
usually be seen in the evemu-record output for the device:

</pre>
In this recording, the pointer jumps from its position 3752/2216 to
1640/4681 within a single frame. On this particular touchpad, this would
represent a physical move of almost 50mm. libinput detects some of these
jumps and discards the movement but otherwise continues as usual. However,
the bug should be fixed at the kernel level.
When you encounter the warning in the log, please generate an evemu
recording of your touchpad and file a bug. See @ref reporting_bugs for more
details.
