Hello again,
I recently started using my Thunderbolt (4) port for charging. The charging itself works fine, but I’ve started to notice a strange behaviour: whenever I charge via the port, the mouse behaviour with the touchpad changes. I am not quite sure whether it is the acceleration, speed or accuracy (or a combination of these) that changes, but it is reproducibly different from normal.

I tried to get some information about the connection using boltctl, but boltctl monitor didn’t even observe anything. Is this due to the connection only being used for charging, and not for any type of data transmission?
And how can the connection even influence any part of the gui?
I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas!
