At first, sorry for my english.
Im a new owner for the new mac 2015 brand new.
Using my force touch trackpad, i have realized that at the bottom of the trackpad, when your using it to select a part of a sentence, or selecting a few words, is difficult or is imposible to select. you have to take your finger more "up" through the trackpad to finally select a part of a sentence.

for example, try to select 2 o 3 words of a sentence in this message, and do it with the part of the trackpad closer (almost to the edge) to the bottom of the computer. If you do it from the top, it is ok, but ffrom the bottom part, is almost imposible.

Rest of functions are working great in the trackpad in that area, except what i say.

Please try yours if you have a new one, and let me know if it happens the same.

Thanks all,

Regards from Spain

Hi Spain, looks like you found an issue. Indeed if I run my finger along the bottom with half of it off the edge of the trackpad it will not select. Its a lot of work to make that happen though not a natural area to find my finger. Maybe a software update needed.
 
this is dificult for the all trackpads...i tryed on my 15" macbook pro, on a windows laptop etc

it's not intended to use it this way..
