So, lately I've noticed that my trackpad had been really behaving so bad lately. Typically, I keep my MacBook on for long long durations-months even, unless I have to restart it. I just put it to sleep when I'm not using it. But lately I keep having to restart, which I find really annoying.
I find that the trackpad is incredibly sensitive to touch after waking up-as in the pointer is jerky and uncontrollable. My regular settings are fine with the trackpad, but somehow it wakes up with a whole new attitude. That and get this-the x and y axis have been both inverted! So if I move my finger in one direction, it goes in the other. Also, if I move with any but the slowest of speeds, the pointer just takes off across the screen so its completely useless.
Another thing I noticed was that the windowing system was also waaay over responsive to scrolling and using general trackpad motions. If I use an external keyboard and mouse, everything works fine. But scrolling with the trackpad makes applications render strangely-so normally, if you give a lot of inertia to a scroll flick, when the reader hits the edge of a window, it bounces. But with this error, I can scroll and the mouse is just crazily strong-its like I can make a window stay where its showing the metallic underskin of a boucne like it does when you scroll flick too hard for an extended amount of time, something I've never witnessed any mac do.
I have no idea why this keeps happening. But I hate it. I don't like having to restart, but so far, that's what the solution has been.
