        May be it does not look like it, but it is a mouse motion event, or at 
least it happens with every "classic" mouse motion event (even when mouse 
events are not supposed to be printed). But yes, it is a bug since it contains 
no useful data and is printed in both of these cases:

cnee --record --mouse
cnee --record --keyboard

        ...which means that cnee thinks that these empty mouse motion events 
belong 
to both mouse and keyboard. Very strange.

        Yes, from my distribution (Debian). I can compile it if necessary, for 
example if you need me to test a patch or think that Debian package is broken.

        Note: I have detached all USB devices except touchpad (the kernel 
identifies it as mouse) and keyboard to get as small list of xinput devices as 
possible but enough to check that cnee misbehaves the same way even when only 
one mouse and one keyboard are present.

        It does not work (see attached file for full log):

% cnee --record --keyboard -sk q &> /tmp/log
% cat /tmp/log | grep Error -A1
Error number: 24
  Error:      Bad grab data
  Solution:   You have requested to grab the same key more than once or one 
already grabbed
