I don't mind motion events. Whether I ram the keyboard, or accidentally manage
to touch the trackpoint doesn't matter, as the trackpoint doesn't send click
events.

I guess I should have been more explicit: "thee cursor jumped between "t" and
"ermina"." referred to the text cursor, not mouse pointer. The point is, if I
leave my mouse pointer above some place in the text and keep typing, eventually
an accidental and unwelcome tap is sent, which moves the text cursor under the
mouse cursor, thus messing up my text.

This interferes with me coding, as well as typing text (like this comment here
– this has happened a few times already).

Hope this is cleared up now.

Thanks, I'll try this if necessary (that is if my previously attached logs
aren't sufficient again).
