[QUOTE="Vision Dreamer, post: 1820689, member: 361145"] The case regarding the issues with the trackpad is now closed. After the third occurrence, Apple promptly replaced the MBP and closed the case. What seems odd however, is that the issue did not disappear with the new machine. After testing other machines at the store as well, it would appear that the problem exists with machines of a certain vintage. It did not exist on my older machines (2008 and 2012). I have reported it to Apple but have not had a response as yet. It would be interesting to know the extent of the issue. If you have a newer machine and wish to test it, here’s what you can do. Alternate between using the the right and left of the trackpad. Stay approximately 1/2 - 3/4 inches from the edge. Track on the right, then click on the left. Repeat, but click on the same spot. In my experience, after about the 5th click, the clicking becomes unresponsive. Sometimes, the tracking would fail on the right as well. Also, tracking on the left and clicking on the right produces similar results. As noted above, I have been using the trackpad this way with my earlier MacBooks without any issue. Would appreciate your feedback. [/QUOTE]
