In this recording, the pointer jumps from its position 3752/2216 to
1640/4681 within a single frame. On this particular touchpad, this would
represent a physical move of almost 50mm. libinput detects some of these

+If your only encounter with these jumps is the warning printed to the log,
+libinput functions as intended.
When you encounter the warning in the log, please generate a recording of
your touchpad with :ref:`libinput record <libinput-record>` and file a bug.
See :ref:`reporting_bugs` for more details.

+Note that it most cases, libinput cannot actually fix the issue. Filing a
+bug is useful to figure out if there are other factors at play or whether
+there are heuristics we can employ to reduce the impact.
