May be it does not look like it, but it is a mouse motion event, or at
least it happens with every "classic" mouse motion event (even when mouse
events are not supposed to be printed). But yes, it is a bug since it contains
no useful data and is printed in both of these cases:
cnee --record --mouse
cnee --record --keyboard
...which means that cnee thinks that these empty mouse motion events
belong
to both mouse and keyboard. Very strange.

Yes, from my distribution (Debian). I can compile it if necessary, for
example if you need me to test a patch or think that Debian package is broken.

% xinput list &> /tmp/xinput-list # I have attached this file to the message.
Note: I have detached all USB devices except touchpad (the kernel
identifies it as mouse) and keyboard to get as small list of xinput devices as
possible but enough to check that cnee misbehaves the same way even when only
one mouse and one keyboard are present.

It does not work (see attached file for full log):
% cnee --record --keyboard -sk q &> /tmp/log
% cat /tmp/log | grep Error -A1
Error number: 24

already grabbed
