says:
"Pointer devices now have button debouncing automagically enabled.
Ghost button release/press events due to worn out or bad-quality switches
are transparently discarded and the device should just work."

Well, I'm terribly sorry to say that the automagic debouncing feature
from libinput announced in the link above simply does not work at all...

Even with the new libinput, fresh install, I get multiple clicks (only in 
Linux).
It's been 9 years that this problem is on and not only unsolved but just 
getting worse since these days no new hardware works at all...

Only very old mouse devices or this electronic solution currently work:

Could a user setting be at last added after 9 years of other solutions
always failing?

Thanks in advance.
