Touchpad self generates events - jpalus - 10-18-2020

I've noticed it a couple of times already after longer use of PBP: touchpad starts misbehaving like cursor is not moving correctly, spurious button clicks are made etc. Now that it happened again I've run xev moved cursor over the window and observed without touching touchpad. Small excerpt:

On average it's about 4 events a second, including micro motions by 1px, no motion at all (same coordinates) or button clicks -- it's actually extremely hard to type this comment now when it happens.

Anyone noticed similar thing? Any clue how to fix it?
