+            This bug looks like a kernel issue and it cannot be fixed
+            in libinput directly. I'm closing this bug but do feel free
+            to continue discussing the issue here.

+            Kernel bugs are usually best sent to the [`linux-input` list](https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/).
