Long pressing using a touch screen stays sticky

[Sergio Schvezov]

One way to reproduce. Using just the touch screen:

- short press firefox from the launcher
- in firefox, go to a website
- find a link on the website and long press on a link
- a context menu shows up (to do something like "Copy link").

After that set of actions, ever short press on the screen simulates a right click, attaching a trackpad/touchpad also produces a right click for what should be a left click.

A long press anywhere reproduces this, I just wanted to give and actual useful use case.

Do you find the problem only happens in Xorg or Wayland sessions?

I also notice you're using a custom kernel, which is possibly related.

Does your touchscreen work at all with the regular Ubuntu kernel?
