Dear Antti,

I am still having the problem today, which I previously described as
the "random mouse" problem.

Presently I'm using an X260 with 18.04 ubuntu.

The problem is still very serious, but I have various workarounds, that
help reduce the magnitude of the problem.

It seems like a bug in the synaptic driver that comes with linux.

If you ask, I can share the various work-arounds I have developed over
the years to deal with this very serious bug.

Previous bug reports I suggest you look at to see if these match what
your observing:
