Description Danny Medina 2022-02-27 14:28:28 UTC
I have encountered this bug, apparently it has been here for a while. Not kde speciffic, not sure what it is but I can confirm that when the system goes to suspend and after i turn it back on the cursor movement is extremelly jittery and laggy. I ran a dmesg and a usb bus would say that it disconnected. Then i would look in the touchpad settings and the touchpad device would not be there.

Maybe is the way it suspends? 
I found out that once that happens you have to invoke a " sudo systemctl suspend " then turn it back on and the problem would be solved immediately.

Maybe whatever mechanism its being used to suspend can append a workarround for this?

The laptop that has this issue is my Thinkpad T480, with my T470 I dont recall having this issue. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. wait for the system to suspend
2. turn it back on 
3. touchpad /mouse cursor will have the issue (happens very often but i cant say it will be 100% all the time)

OBSERVED RESULT
If i invoke a " sudo systemctl suspend " and bring the computer back on, the issue is gone.
If i dont the issue remains.

This sounds like a Kernel issue or a Libinput issue. I would encourage you to reach out to the Libinput developer about it.
