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 Vladimir Benes 2013-07-02 12:25:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
MT is working really oddly in GNOME Shell 3.8 I can do some sort of work with it but single click is slowed down in control-center test app by half a second or so and to perform double click I need to click 3 times. So now it's really difficult if you are in one application to drag and drop other non focused one as you are mostly dragging the previous focused one (because of that slowness?)

Multiple screen with one classic and one touch screen is even in worse condition, I will file another bug for that. 

I can see xorg log full of one error (don't know if that is connected to it but I suspect it is)

I am not sure if my touch screen is somehow broken or it's really evdev driver issue.

I am on kernel 3.10, maybe worth trying 3.9 or so.
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.8.0-1.el7.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.1-4.el7.x86_64 
GNOME-3.8.3
Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2013-07-08 06:13:43 UTC 
same package version here and I can confirm:
* in the mouse/touchpad test your settings screen, the tap-to-click is delayed by about half a second to a second
* I can barely trigger the double-click, only managed to do it twice
* right-button click with one finger down, then second finger tap works
* using a single finger in control-center or other apps has a slight delay, less than in the test your settings screen

For the touch screen I need an evemu recording please. RHEL7 packages are here:

Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2013-07-11 05:11:32 UTC 
nevermind, I can reproduce this on my x220t, couldn't with the other tablet for some reason. I'll have a closer look.
Comment 9 Peter Hutterer 2013-08-27 04:19:36 UTC 
Closing this one closed, the actual MT support in the server seems to work now.
