We should allow a new session even if the laser is fading away.

For example, if the user lifts the stylus up off the screen for a brief second
and puts it down before the laser has finished fading away, then they will not
have a laser pointer until lifting up and pressing down again.

When is the expression (!laser_pointer_view_ && is_fading_away_) true?

Yeah that expression never happens, so it was working as expected previously.

     return;
   }
 
-  // This will handle creating the initial laser pointer view on
-  // ET_MOUSE_PRESSED events.
-  SwitchTargetRootWindowIfNeeded(GetCurrentRootWindow());
+  // If the stylus is pressed and the laser pointer view is currently active,
+  // create a new view.
+  if (event->type() == ui::ET_MOUSE_PRESSED)
+    DestroyLaserPointerView();
 
-  if (laser_pointer_view_) {
-    // Remap point from where it was captured to the display it is actually on.
-    gfx::Point event_location = event->root_location();
-    aura::Window* target = static_cast<aura::Window*>(event->target());
-    aura::Window* event_root = target->GetRootWindow();
-    aura::Window::ConvertPointToTarget(
-        event_root, laser_pointer_view_->GetRootWindow(), &event_location);
+  SwitchTargetRootWindowIfNeeded(current_window);

I think this code would be much easier if the implicit state machine was made
more explicit. For example:

  if (!enabled_)
    return;
  if (!event_is_not_pen)
    return;
  if (!current_window) {
    DestroyLaserPointerView();
    return;
  }

  if (event_type_is_down && !OverStylusTools()) {
    // The Laser could still be fading away from a previous event sequence.
    DestroyLaserPointerView();
    ShowLaserPointer()
    event->StopPropagation()
  }

  if (event_type_is_move && laser_pointer_view_) {
    ChangeLaserPointerWidgetIfNeeded();
    laser_pointer_view->AddNewPoint(current_mouse_location_);
    stationary_timer_repeat_count_ = 0;
    event->StopPropagation()
  }

  if (event_type_is_up) {
    laser_pointer_view->UpdateTime();
    stationary_timer_repeat_count_ = 0;
    is_fading_away_ = true;
    event->StopPropagation()
  }


The event->StopPropagation calls can be deduped by moving the three ifs into a
helper function that returns true if the event was handled, ie,

  if (UpdateLaserView(event))
    event->StopPropagation()

I'm not convinced that is worthwhile since it is only one statement.

Done.
