Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
libinput's timestamps for press and release events on 2-finger touchpad taps are identical. Some applications (e.g. some run under wine) get confused because they cannot order the events correctly. 

This only affects 2 and 3 finger tap, single-finger taps are fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libinput-1.6.*

How reproducible:
sudo libinput-debug-events --enable-tap

Then do a two-finger tap and observe the timestamps:
-event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +1.43s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
 event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +1.43s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
 event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +2.65s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
 event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +2.65s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
 event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +4.39s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
 event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +4.39s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
 event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +5.46s	BTN_MIDDLE (274) pressed, seat count: 1
 event20  POINTER_BUTTON    +5.46s	BTN_MIDDLE (274) released, seat count: 0


Actual results:
The timestamps should differ slightly between the press and release events.

libinput-1.6.3-3.el7 is available in brew

Using the reproducer in the description, I am able to see that the timestamps differ slightly between the press and release events:

-event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +1.24s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
 event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +1.34s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
 event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +2.22s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
 event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +2.29s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
 event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +3.15s	BTN_RIGHT (273) pressed, seat count: 1
 event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +3.18s	BTN_RIGHT (273) released, seat count: 0
 event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +6.07s	BTN_MIDDLE (274) pressed, seat count: 1
 event4  POINTER_BUTTON    +6.16s	BTN_MIDDLE (274) released, seat count: 0
