It was added in the repository in November 2012, so it's more recent than the standard 0.4.7 release. > Yes --- the problem I think that these are "fake" points, when the focus > change.

Hard to diagnose more precisely without debug output from the input subsystem (#define INPUT_DEBUG in src/xournal.h) for the events that lead to those "fake" points. Just in case, try changing the value of discard_corepointer to true in the [general] section of .xournal/config (and also set ignore_other_devices to true if not already the case). This might help remove one of the possible causes of such events, but I am dubious. If the dot is not where the cursor currently is then it means a faulty device driver is sending a click at a location where it no longer is. Let me guess... it's not a wacom tablet, is it? (Mind you, the drivers used to all be equally buggy, but by now the wacom driver has mostly been fixed, unlike the others...) > Would you like to see the .xoj file? It won't be of any use -- it only records the strokes, not the details of which input devices claimed to send what sequence of events. The portion of the input debug messages corresponding to when you cause such a fake dot to appear would be more useful. There's not necessarily much I can do, though, unless the pen sends events in a way that's broken but not so broken that fixing it would still be possible and make sense as a default behavior.
