Hi:
I've a Powerbook 1GHz 17" (I've had it for about a year now) and the trackpad drives me nuts. The cursor is always jumping all over the place and when I turn on the "ignore while typing" I get the delay as you have described below. I'm more used to it now and I guess I've trained my hands to stay far away from the keypad while I type as it happens less frequently now. Have never had this problem on any other Powerbook/iBook prior to this one. Sheesh.

I've been really enjoying my PB17 except for one thing: the trackpad. It
seems that, not everytime but many times, when I type something, the cursor
is kinda stuck, then, after sliding my finger on it, it starts moving again
as it should. I tried turning off "Ignore accidental trackpad input" but
then, I've never realized that my thumbs, mostly were so closed and as such,
they create many accidental input or moving the cursor anywhere on the
screen so that I can't live without the "Ignore..." setting on. I guess it's
because the trackpad on the 17" is bigger than on my Pismo, which never gave
me those problems, even though I had the "Ignore..." turned on there too.
I was wondering, among those that have a 17" and maybe a 15", and have the
"Ignore..." setting turned on, does the cursor sometimes get stuck a few
seconds after you typed something?
This is the opposite problem I suppose, but I have noticed that the trackpad on my partner's PB15 is a bit erratic - in particular I sometimes have to tap several times before it responds. I've never had that kind of problem with the pismo.
