Sounds like a libinput bug.

I'd file a bug though, and see if whatever's wrong can be fixed for every trackpad of that same make/model.

Thanks for the links, particularly the second one. It looks like something I may have experimented with before but I'll try again. It could be that my touchpad does not support ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR (Dell XPS 2-in-1 2019).

My "issue" is described as expected behaviour in this documentation: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/palm-det... (the "A" event).
