Trackpad acting oddly

2011-09-02 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hello,

My trackpad has been acting really weird. If I have trackpad commander on, 
voiceover randomly does various commands, such as what seems to be a flick 
right or left to go to the next or previous item, double tapping, muting 
voiceover, etc. When voiceover is off, others report that the mouse randomly 
goes across the screen.

I thought perhaps i had gotten something on the trackpad, which would cause it 
to think gestures were being done, but it is fairly clean, and we wiped it off 
to make sure.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,
Brandon

I've noticed similar things when Trackpad commander is on but only when using 
VO.  I've just chalked it up to my thumbs getting close enough to the trackpad 
to be sensed and thus causing the issues.  Therefore, I've stopped using the TP 
commander when doing lots of typing sorts of things.  I can't comment on the 
behaviour your mentioning when VO is off.

Later…
