Bug description:
Vincent Gerris wrote on 2010-10-04 (from #637106):

What happens is, that if I touch the screen, the cursor does not move from the previous position sometimes.
For example when I touch 6 different places on the screen, the cursor would follow 3 times and the other 3 not (it would remain at the 3rd position).

Things that effect this: when I press harder on the screen, sometimes the cursor does appear on that spot.
When I touch and then drag, the cursor always follows.

This is a confirmed problem, and a patch for it is on its way.

TEST CASE: Visible on touchscreens. Move a single finger around the screen, and tap lightly with a few seconds interval. The pointer will follow sometimes, and sometimes it will not. With the patch, the pointer will follow every time.
