Re: Cursor tracking problems when using my trackpad

2014-11-10 Thread BobH.
My train of thought on this is... the track pad is an inexact science and the least touch before making a gesture is enough to send focus to where the touch on screen was. Flicking is only ever from that point. I soon gave up the track pad too, while I have a keyboard and use VO-Arrows or

This sounds like a browser setting that prepends, by assumption, that all links start with www. I hate that and turned it off; that should fix it. A page with a link like that is erronious. Glad to see someone else using that product, I used a variant on XP for years. RobH. - Original
