Hello Chris: Regardless of which Mac system you're working on, the trackpad anomalies can occur. Most of the time, I use the keyboard, and keep the track pad commander turned off. Then if I need it, I employ it and turn it back off before doing any major writing again. I've never, on the other hand done accidental mouse-clicks. HTH Carolyn
