To elaborate... what you see on a "traditional" stylus-based Wacom tablet is probably what Qemu is implementing. That means:
* Stylus is near (within a few centimetres) but not touching the screen: Mouse cursor visible and follows the pen (but ideally shows something different to an arrow, like a pencil cursor). * Stylus touches the screen: That's a touch or primary button-down event, and button up event for release. * Stylus moves away from the screen: No cursor is visible. I think that's what Qemu is trying to emulate and it's probably a good model for our controlling a virtual touch screen with a mouse too. So we should fix libinput and/or Mir to work in this environment. Obviously it did until recently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1517597 Title: [regression] mouse pointer support on emulator is broken Status in Canonical System Image: Incomplete Status in Mir: Confirmed Status in Mir 0.18 series: Confirmed Status in android package in Ubuntu: New Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in phablet-tools package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: STEPS: 1. Flash with sudo ubuntu-emulator create --channel ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu rc-test 2. Wait for it to build 3. Run with ubuntu-emulator run rc-test 4. Starts up but the mouse never moves meaning you can't leave the first page of the welcome wizard EXPECTED: I expect the emulator cursor to follow the mouse cursor and be able to click on things ACTUAL: Emulator cursors stay in the top left preventing movement. As noted below F6 toggles the input mode. The pointer movement is quite slow and jerky. You also can no longer initiate an edge swipe even in trackball mode. This is a major regression from how the emulator used to perform.
