You push the pad for a tap. (first line; both conditions are true). The
finger motion on the pad, while doing the tap, is large/moved enough for
it to also be consideret a toss. A toss stops when you touch the pad
again; so you are tossing while pressing the stick and pushing the
buttons. To stop this behaviour:
A) Disable toss, dooh. See the question below.
B) Set a higher constant for min_toss_dist or min_toss_time.
C) Apply following patch, which prevent a tap and a toss to be activated
at the same time.

So why does disabling tossing stop taps/buttons? (It should not influence
it at all). Could you send some output where you press a button and do a
tap.

Ok. I understand now: You have not coded a new "left-click-drag" action,
but uses the "left-click" action. (I read it as drag-lock)
