[sorry, I was out on vacation the past 2 weeks and this week was the
usual "urgent" thing I have to day for yesterday]

Ideally, I'd like to not revert that commit. It solves a bunch of
issues on many devices, so that's maybe not the way forward.

FWIW, it was quite painful to tweak and that was a solution that
matches the hid-multitouch devices I could find.

I tried to process your email when you described the succession of
events without much success.

Would you mind dumping a hid-record when exposing the bug?

Cheers,
Benjamin
