Some owners of MacBook Pros and the new MacBooks are reporting problems with erratic behavior of the new multi-touch trackpad. They are reporting that not all button clicks are registered as such and that sometimes the cursor goes wonky. A report has surfaced that Apple claims a software patch is coming soon to fix this odd behavior. As I have demonstrated I am not seeing any of this odd behavior as my trackpad is working as intended but let’s hope Apple does indeed fix this soon for those affected. I wonder if some of these folks are resting their thumb on the trackpad while touching it with the index finger? I am careful to not do that as a multi-touch trackpad will register that as a double touch.
