Yes, collecting some evemu-record logs of the jumps would be useful.
Only after installing Fedora 25 was I able to see jumps while moving
diagonally. I'm interested in seeing what others record and if it is the
same as what I saw. The log of the jump did show the jump on Fedora 25.
But, I did not see the jump with Ubuntu 16.10 with libinput 1.4.3.
