Hi Jiri and all,
Unfortunately this has not yet been fixed :-(

Same problem exists; a single press/release on the touch-pad buttons
creates a stream of press/release events, and often the button is left
'pressed' (when it has really been released). This make the inbuilt
touchpad unusable on the laptop.
This behavior appears to have started with
'24d28e4f1271cb2f91613dada8f2acccd00eff56'.
Is there any chance the someone can look into this, or provide some
guidance? I am willing to test any suggestions.
