Scrolling is still very sensitive after upgrading `xf86-input-libinput` to 1.2.0

The issue described in #271 still exists. This is an application bug according to this thread. Is there something that can be done without downgrading the package?

Just wanted to mention my workaround when I did not write hires statement in logid.cfg for my MX Master. When I started logid and also when move mouse after a while (from powersave mode), the scrolling became unusably slow. To workaround this, I launched solaar, and ticked "Resolution of mouse wheel" two times (off, then on). And scrolling became normal, until next waking from mouse sleep.

But now when I used hiresscroll: { hires: true; invert: false; target: false; }; in config, scrolling is normally fast. It is on kde wayland.

Hey friends, there is now an Xorg option to fix this issue with libinput 1.2.x:

The steps I took were to copy the default libinput Xorg config (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf) to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, then to edit the 'pointer catchall' section to include Option "HighResolutionWheelScrolling" "off".

My 40-libinput.conf looks like this now:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "HighResolutionWheelScrolling" "off"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Brilliant! This also fixed an odd behaviour I had with latte-dock with the cycle through tasks function. It always worked fine and probably the issue started with the xf68-input-libinput 1.2x upgrade.

Thanks
