Bug Description

SurfaceInputDispatcher keeps track of input event targets - for historic reason those are called guesture owners - when it detects that the receiver of a pointer event is a different window it will send enter events to the new window and exit events to the old window. Those events contain the same attributes as the original pointer event. After sending the enter event the original motion event is also dispatched.

Now if the new window accumulates the pointer events (like the nested server) to track a cursor position this tracking will now add the relative motion of the original event twice.

We could decide to not send the original motion event after having provided the enter event. But that might not work for cases where the original event was a pointer button up/down event. Since we would have to emit that state change too. So that leaves us with nullifying the relative motion event in one case, or ignoring relative motion in enter exit events in our own cursor position tracker..

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * New upstream release 0.26.0 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.26.0)
    - ABI summary:
      . mirclient ABI unchanged at 9
      . mirserver ABI bumped to 43
      . mircommon ABI unchanged at 7
      . mirplatform ABI unchanged at 14
      . mirprotobuf ABI unchanged at 3
      . mirplatformgraphics ABI unchanged at 11
      . mirclientplatform ABI unchanged at 5
      . mirinputplatform ABI unchanged at 6
      . mircore ABI unchanged at 1
    - Enhancements:
      . New/improved toolkit APIs: MirInputConfig and related functions,
        MirWindow and related functions, DisplayConfig and related functions,
        MirScreencastSpec and related functions,
      . Support for configuring input configuration
      . Introduce toolkit extension mechanism for platform specific APIs.
      . Toolkit extensions for: mesa_drm_auth, set_gbm_device and
        window_coordinate_translation
      . Screencasting to a specific MirBuffer.
      . Add DisplayConfigurationController::base_configuration() so downstreams
        can get the base configuration. (Weirdly they can already set it.).
      . x11 platform: allow adjustable scale parameter.
      . Added EDID support: client API, server logging and in mirout.
      . mirout: Add newer attributes only available in the new display
        config API: scaling factor, subpixel arrangement and form factor.
      . mirout: Log the orientation and logical size of each output too.
      . Replace the mir::Server-overridable Reports with Observers.
      . Add xkbcommon to mirclient.pc Requires.private.
      . Deprecate legacy toolkit APIs that will be removed in Mir 1.0
      . Introduced 'client-side vsync', which dramatically reduces latency
        from the client to the screen (particularly for nested servers like
        Unity8).
    - Bugs fixed:
      . [performance] Restore support for better-than-triple buffering by
        default. (LP: #1240909)
      . Frame rate is artificially low on Diamondville Intel Atom systems due
        to aggressive power management (LP: #1388490)
      . [testsfail] failure in CI in
        AndroidInputReceiverSetup.slow_raw_input_doesnt_cause_frameskipping
        (LP: #1394369)
      . [trusted prompt sessions] Can't open two prompt sessions at the same
        time (LP: #1494197)
      . Changing scale, formFactor or DPI in display configuration causes
        renderer teardown/recreate unnecessarily (LP: #1556142)
      . [testsfail] ApplicationNotRespondingDetection.failure_to_pong_is_
        noticed (LP: #1570327)
      . CI failure in TestClientInput.receives_one_touch_event_per_frame
        (LP: #1570698)
      . Mir-on-X mouse input is jerky/stuttery compared to Mir-on-KMS
        (LP: #1576600)
      . [regression] Two fingers in mir_proving_server now resizes/moves app
        windows (two finger apps unusable) (LP: #1586311)
      . Pointer/cursor input lag in unity8 session (LP: #1591328)
      . PointerConfinement.test_we_update_our_confined_region_on_a_resize
