Re: Unexpected gesture result
I think I may have solved my problem. I suspect I just touch the edge of the trackpad with the ball of my thumb when I am making certain gestures and this causes unexpected results.

Re: Unexpected gesture result
Hi Barry, You may be doing an Accessibility zoom in. It can be configured to be Control plus a two finger swipe up to zoom in and Control plus a two finger swipe down to zoom back out. As I say this is an Accessibility feature that can be turned off but I use it frequently to read fine print and thus have it turned on.

Re: Unexpected gesture result
Carlo It is definitely the accessibility zoom but I am not sure how I manage it without touching the control key, next time it happens I will try control plus the two finger swipe to see if that gets me out of the zoom. I normally have the accessibility turned off in any case. Barry On 29/01/2012, at 12:59 PM, cm wrote: Hi Barry, You may be doing an Accessibility zoom in.
