(I'm right handed) I tend to use the pointer finger on my right hand to do the pointing
and sometimes tap to click or click/drags, but I'll also use the thumb on my left hand to do clicking..... now sometimes I will rest my thumb on the trackpad and I think that's where
things go wrong.

I know that today I woke my macbook from sleep and tap to click wasn't working
I went into settings and turned it off and then back on and tap to click was working ok

.... I'm not sure what's causing it but things are going ok, I thought it was ME.

I like the other features like app switching with a swipe and expose with similar swipes.
..... I feel like John King on election night swiping and sweeping.]]>Nov 5th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/apple-probably-prepping-a-patch-for-mysterious-clicking-issue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/apple-probably-prepping-a-patch-for-mysterious-clicking-issue/Its so bad I actually think it was to deliberately make Windows unusable.

-The cursor will often relocate itself when editing text, especially in web textfields.
-Right-clicking cannot be done with a 2-finger tap, but instead can only be accomplished with a THREE-finger physical click (!!)
-As a result of the right-click issue, right-click dragging (like when you want to copy rather than move or vice versa) is just not doable.
-Highlighting text while editing is impossible, as highlighted text becomes un-highlighted when you remove your finger from the trackpad.

There are two big raging threads on the apple forums, and we have all submitted feedback to apple on it, but when anyone ever actually speaks to an Apple rep about it, they swear its the first time they have heard anyone complain about it.

Its infuriating.
