Right - so leaving this comment here to prevent me from asking anpok
again ;)

The solution believed to be correct is to modify the Android emulator
code to properly emulate a touch device (which is actually a mouse). Not
much we can do on our side.

Title:
  [regression] mouse pointer support on emulator is broken

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Incomplete
Status in Mir:

Status in android package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:

Status in phablet-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  STEPS:
  1. Flash with sudo ubuntu-emulator create --channel ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu rc-test
  2. Wait for it to build
  3. Run with ubuntu-emulator run rc-test
  4. Starts up but the mouse never moves meaning you can't leave the first page of the welcome wizard

  EXPECTED:
  I expect the emulator cursor to follow the mouse cursor and be able to click on things

  ACTUAL:
  Emulator cursors stay in the top left preventing movement.

  As noted below F6 toggles the input mode.
  The pointer movement is quite slow and jerky.
  You also can no longer initiate an edge swipe even in trackball mode.

  This is a major regression from how the emulator used to perform.
