in the sequence A - B - C.</p>
<p>The input filters are processing pointer motion events. The expected<br />
behavior is that the new motion is processed in the sequence</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">A -> B -> C</pre></div>
<p>So far this did not work correctly if the pointer gets warped during the<br />
processing. If e.g. filter B warps the pointer we get a motion sequence:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">A (1) -> B (1) -> A (2) -> B (2) -> C (2) -> C (1)</pre></div>
<p>The filters following the one warping the pointer get first the newer<br />
than the older position. This is obviously wrong. Unfortunately it is not<br />
just a theoretical condition, but a condition happening when interacting<br />
with the screenedges, which warp the pointer.</p>
<p>This change introduces a PositionUpdateBlocker in<br />
PointerInputRedirection::processMotion to ensure that a processMotion<br />
call finishes prior to the next update. If the PositionUpdateBlocker is<br />
blocked the new position gets scheduled and processed once the<br />
PositionUpdateBlocker gets destroyed.</p>
<p>With this we get the expected sequence for B warping pointer:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">A (1) -> B (1) -> C (1) -> A (2) -> B (2) -> C (2)</pre></div>
<p>This should hopefully improve the interaction with screen edges on<br />
Wayland.</p>
<p>CCBUG: 374867</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TEST PLAN</strong><div><p>Added an auto test demonstrating the issue of incorrect<br />
ordering caused by screenedges. Prior to the change the test is failing.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R108 KWin</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>position-update-blocker</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D5182" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D5182</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>autotests/integration/pointer_input.cpp<br />
