Thank you. I will give it a shot.

I am having the same issue, and I don't think it is being identified correctly. I've had it on the Dell 11" 3147, the Acer V3-xxx, and the HP 11t-n000. It's possible that they all have exactly the same mouse hardware.

In any case, the mouse jump can be duplicated. If you tap two points on the pad in brief succession, the driver apparently registers that as a slide rather than two distinct taps and the mouse will jump. There does not seem to be a distance limit, as I can do it from corner to corner.

In itself, this would not be any trouble, because how often do you do that, and why can't you just stop? The problem with these pads is that the buttons are part of the track pad, so naturally you slide and click, but the tap on the button registers as a slide just before you physically click the button.

So, I suggest that the problem is actually that the driver should not classify these taps as slides by giving a "maximum finger movement between updates" option. If the finger goes too far between updates, then register it as two taps.

As a temporary fix, it may be possible to tell the driver to ignore taps in the button area, but I haven't found the right setting.
