When using the touchpad, the mouse cursor moves even when keeping the
finger still on one point.
Triggering the behaviour: this happens when the contact surface is very
small, so it gets triggered for example when tapping on a button, right
before the finger leaves the touchpad. This makes clicking buttons using
the touchpad (for example, the "x" button in the browser tabs) very
difficult.
In attachment, an evemu-record done keeping the finger on one point,
barely touching the touchpad.
The recording was done with the command:
sudo evemu-record > touchpad.evemu

Select the device event number [0-13]: 8
To replay the recording (the strange behaviour is particularly visible
in the final part):
sudo evemu-play /dev/input/event8 < touchpad.evemu
(replace event8 with your input device)
