Description Washington 2021-10-14 14:10:09 UTC 
SUMMARY

Mouse pointer well behaved

Tested on X11.
Comment 2 Vlad Zahorodnii 2021-10-14 15:07:13 UTC 
Can you try downgrading libinput?

> Can you try downgrading libinput?

I switched to Wayland session, the pointer is working as expected.

Test I haven't done on X11:
- Using a mouse
- Adjusting mouse acceleration.
- Disabling mouse acceleration.
