Bug Description
Steps:
1) Move the pointer using the touchpad (ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad).
2) Stop moving your fingers on the touchpad, but don't "release" it.
3) Observe the pointer continue in the same direction at a few dozen pixels per second.
This is no fun while trying to select text. Also, when scrolling using two fingers (dragging both in the same direction) this problem does not occur.

btw, "releasing" the touchpad stops the unwanted pointer motion.
