            Bug ID: 90527
           Summary: Allow resting the thumb on the touchpad while moving
                    the pointer
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: ASSIGNED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Follow-up from Bug 90261.

Resting the thumb on the touchpad causes scroll events when the finger is
moved.

Two immediate ideas come to mind here:
* define some sort of exclusion zone on the touchpad where the thumb may come
to rest, similar to software buttons
* define some maximum distance threshold for a touch to count as two-finger
scroll, which would probably go hand-in-hand with Bug 90526

Ideally we could identify a thumb, but that's likely only possible on the apple
touchpads.
