Does the cursor move when the tochpad is slight...

Quite a simple test reveals a clear answer - Nope!


So why, for years ( i refer to the 2012 thread on such subject), we had to live with the explanation (or even worse that one on the battery - ahh come on) of the annoying and frankly unprofessional - especially for an apparatus at this high price range - ... the phenomenon that the cursor has suddenly moved to another place while sitting and writing a text on ones Macbook? -  Used as such - so without the power plug in and on the lap without the frills such as an ext mice connected.


A real click (which one can set to give a sound = no doubt) IS NEEDED to move the cursor - a touch will simply move the pointer and possibly the screen image - NOT THE CURSOR.


And yes - the  problem does disappears when you disable the touchpad and then connect an external mouse. And that is a nice "escape opt" but not good enough, really - Apple must do better.


And actually Logically then by observance, it occu (argh --- now it happened again – ARGHHHHHH!!!! Oh again – whattttt?) It occurs when you have some of your hand over the touchpad, slightly touching it (or actually nut, but just “moving over”?) AND  AT THE SAME TIME  touch a key - letter key in this context.


And who should benefit from such... "Feature"?


No nobody or at least possibly very few. So why not get it turned off? - it must simply be able to be coded if nothing else by so that "sacrifice" some feature like someone in a special function might want for some exorbitant reason. And should such be so very influential maybe when with a disable/enable such feature in user interface?


Come on Apple - be the ones (it appears some Microsoft lamaptop users also suffer from it) who finally solve this annoing FAULT in construction - hardware and or software.

Uncheck, "Tap to click."

Thanks for that suggestion. Actually i have - for test - had unchecked all - everything - but that one .. for then "how to click"  ...  I have worked that one out now but it is quite a bit less comfortable actually having to then press the touchpad (instead of just touching the yes, touch-pad (got that one, Apple )

But I will surely test if it solves that "cursor jump issue", i refer to, and if it does, I will consider which "discomfort" i will decide to live on with. (but then for sure return to here to then rate your answer and supplement the thread)

But still - Please Apple - it is not a good enough solution for a high level laptop manufacturer like Apple - still need a more proff and user optimized solution. But thanks to you - dear fellow user



I really think that it is just the nature of the beast. Touch without mechanical pressure involves the use of electronic capacitance and the sensitivity of probably your thumbs hovering just over the trackpad when you type. It doesn't happen with the external trackpads because you're not physically typing on a keyboard with portions of your hands hanging over the trackpad. If you could train yourself to type while holding your thumbs higher up, you might improve things.

 

I just turn off the feature, "Tap tp click," when I'm doing a lot of typing, and turn it back it on when I'm just surfing the net.



It seems to be working - to be a working "patching-solution" i would say.   **


But definitely an essential and workable one of such.


Especially if one remember to go in and uncheck that option before writing a text (sitting on the couch in front of the TV, for example : )


Thus in daily internet surf or such use, one  can then benefit from just hitting lightly the touchpad for "a click" (rather than actually have to press down like when “that one unchecked”)


But once again thanks to you, Lanny.  Have marked your reply as helpful (but will first say the problem is "resolved" when Apple has looked further into it : )


* * If someone from Apple or someone connected to “Apple people” should read this - I still hope for a better solution -  because there is still an explanation need and an appropriate expectation of a more proff and user convenient solution on why the cursor moves apparently when one touches, or perhaps just hand over in a certain pos the touchpad field while AT THE SAMT TIME, under writing text, press a letter key down. And that without one's “touch” (hand over or maybe sligt, very slight, touch)  has generated  a decidedly "click" (that would I could have heard as i  had click sound turned on during test).
