Discard cursor movements if they directly coincide with
a change in the number of fingers detected. This helps
mitigate two issues - a sudden jump of the cursor when
a second finger enters or leaves the trackpad, and an
unexpected jump in page scrolling under the same
scenario. This doesn't completely eliminate all jumps
but does greatly reduce their frequency and velocity.
