Hey guys, had a quick search through the forum but cant find anything about this one.
Its happened a couple of times now and the only way i can solve it is by restarting the computer, Im trying to find out if theres an easier way of solving it or if its a gesture im making on the trackad which is causing it - heres the problem!!! ----
Basically when im using the trackpad, say browing on safai, all of a sudden the pointer on the screen starts sticking to anything it touches, this could be someting on the screen ,a window or a file on the desktop anything it goes over it selects and sticks to the pointer, and i cannnot get it off.
Ive tried turning off double tap to select etc in the options so I know its not that , sometimes if i right click it drops the item but then anything else it passes it selects again.
Its geting very annoying ive lost files and if i go near the dock it drags all my programmes off.
also on my blank desktop space its constantly making a square as if your selecting something.
This problem seems to occur after if either pressed or held down the trackpad and then maybe scrolled, so im wandering if there is a gesture i dont know about that im accidently activating, if so how the hell can i stop this happing its driving me mad, its happened about 3 times this week.
I do a lot of editing and im dreading it happeneing whilst im in the middle of an important edit .
please please can some one help, so far ive found the only way to solve it is to shut down the laptop.
