[Bug 792598] Re: XWarpPointer sends wrong raw mouse input event

 

** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #30068

** Description changed:

  From https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30068
  "XWarpPointer should generate Motion but not RawMotion (it's RAW, right?). And
  it definitely generates wrong RawMotion, because it contains valuators' values
  equal to absolute screen coordinates of mouse move target (and that is
  definitely wrong, since all other mouse events are relative).
  
  So, my point is that XWarpPointer shouldn't generate RawMotion events at
  all."
  
  He also includes a small testcase.
  
  Happens in Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 (or any Ubuntu with XInput2 support).
  Affects apps that use xinput2, e.g. wine as of roughly wine-1.3.20 or later.
  
  Drives users nuts... the main menu of Bioshock Demo and many other
  games is nearly completely useless because of the jumping mouse

  The lead Wine developer, Alexandre Julliard, has been waiting for this
  bug to be fixed for some time now.  He's trying to work around it,
  without much luck so far.
