Mouse act as if pressed down

Post by douglascvas »

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 7586 2-in-1 with Linux Ming 20.1 and every time I touch my screen with my hand and pen at the same time (to draw something) the cursor gets messed up, as if the mouse was pressed down and start highlighting everything in some applications, like IntelliJ. It only gets back to normal after restarting the laptop.
I try touching the screen as suggested in some other post but does not help (how could, if it is caused by touching the screen).
Any ideas?

Please open a terminal and provide the output of xinput.

Does this happen with all applications or does it only happen when using certain applications?
