Created attachment 1242545 [details] sudo evemu-record /dev/input/event5 Description of problem: Tap-to-click is often ignored, as well as scrolling using the touchpad. Tap-to-click is especially annoying, it happens very often, and I normally see between 1 and 5-6 taps being ignored. I see this on two different netbook models with F25 XFCE, the problems started around 2-3 days ago on both netbooks - one is running the i686 arch, the other x86_64. I performed a fresh installation of F24 XFCE x86_64 on one of them, and the problems disappeared completely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.23.0-2.fc25.i686 How reproducible: Happens every few seconds of usage, but it seems random. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just tap to click inside Firefox, on XFCE's Applications menu, or anywhere else Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I attached an evemu-record log. I left the mouse cursor immobile above the Firefox window in the background, with the terminal in the foreground, and tapped-to-click. When Firefox came to the foreground, I used Alt-Tab to bring the terminal again to the front. The last tap-to-click was recorded by evemu-record, but it didn't bring Firefox to the foreground. I was able to reproduce this with multiple evemu-record runs, it happens quite often - for the log I attached, I stopped recording as soon as I saw it happen for the first time, to be sure I can point out at the correct instance of the event. If there's something else I can try or debug, please let me know (I guess I'll have to switch the other netbook to either F24 or Debian on Sunday, it's very frustrating to use - but I can wait if I can assist with fixing this).
"dnf history" shows libinput was upgraded on 2017-01-17. After downgrading from 1.5.901-1.fc25.i686 to 1.5.0-1.fc25.i686, the problem disappeared: not even a single tap was ignored during several hours of intensive testing. Reassigning to libinput.
Version libinput-1.6.0-1.fc25.i686 from testing shows the same problem as 1.5.901-1.fc25.i686: taps are randomly ignored.
Hi, Same happens here in KDE plasma5. Downgrading to 1.5.0-2 makes tapping working again. martin@localhost ~]$ xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP HD Webcam [Fixed] id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] [martin@localhost ~]$ xinput list-props 12 Device 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad': Device Enabled (138): 1 Coordinate Transformation Matrix (140): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 libinput Tapping Enabled (291): 1 libinput Tapping Enabled Default (292): 0 libinput Tapping Drag Enabled (293): 1 libinput Tapping Drag Enabled Default (294): 1 libinput Tapping Drag Lock Enabled (295): 0 libinput Tapping Drag Lock Enabled Default (296): 0 libinput Tapping Button Mapping Enabled (297): 1, 0 libinput Tapping Button Mapping Default (298): 1, 0 libinput Accel Speed (273): 0.000000 libinput Accel Speed Default (274): 0.000000 libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled (278): 0 libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled Default (279): 0 libinput Send Events Modes Available (258): 1, 1 libinput Send Events Mode Enabled (259): 0, 0 libinput Send Events Mode Enabled Default (260): 0, 0 libinput Left Handed Enabled (280): 0 libinput Left Handed Enabled Default (281): 0 libinput Scroll Methods Available (282): 1, 1, 0 libinput Scroll Method Enabled (283): 1, 0, 0 libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (284): 1, 0, 0 libinput Disable While Typing Enabled (299): 1 libinput Disable While Typing Enabled Default (300): 1 Device Node (261): "/dev/input/event6" Device Product ID (262): 2, 7 libinput Drag Lock Buttons (289): <no items> libinput Horizontal Scroll Enabled (290): 1 HTH Martin Kho
this is probably a side-effect of: http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2016/12/libinput-touchpad-tap-analysis.html
I only now realized you're the upstream developer. :) I see a few values above 100ms in my evemu log (the first instinct was to believe the sensor didn't register my tap, so I tapped a bit harder, which probably only increases the touch time). It'd be interesting to see if the average touch time increases during the day - I assume I be slower when tired. I assume this means a WONTFIX, right? In any case, clicking with the physical buttons works, but I'm unable to reduce the assigned severity - "urgent" seems overblown. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/libinput/commit/?id=d0ba1e2b383acaac8a31a1ded7d3039bcd161db3
Version 1.5 worked like a dream on my XPS 9360; between the still-too-slow speed of 1.6 and especially this tap-to-click dropping approximately half of my taps makes my laptop's touchpad go from a dream-to-use to a nightmare. It's so frustrating to use my laptop now. The only options I have are either downgrade to 1.5 (which I did for the time being), always plug in a mouse into a laptop I bought specifically because the touchpad hardware is so good, or toss the new laptop across the room in frustration. I do appreciate your work on libinput and your efforts to improve it. (Thanks!) However, for at least this specific hardware, it is a major regression and has severely hurt the functionality, rendering the touchpad annoyingly unusable for those of us who depend on touch events.
I filed #1415793 for the acceleration regression.
