Weird mouse/cursor behavior: Sticking & jumping
This problem has happened intermittently since I got my MBP. Lately, it's gotten much worse.
After using the computer for awhile, the mouse cursor sometimes starts to "stick" -- it causes me to drag windows around when I haven't clicked to do so; when (for example) I try to click on a link on a webpage, the link text "sticks" to the cursor and gets dragged around the screen instead; the dock is inaccessible unless I both click AND move the cursor to the bottom of the screen; and the cursor suddenly jumps from one part of the screen to another without my touching the mouse.
I used to think that it was something about the Logitech wireless mouse I've been using. But in the past day, even with the wireless mouse turned off, the problem occurs with the trackpad as well.
Has anyone else had the problem? I'm reluctant to bring the MBP to the Genius Bar because the problem is intermittent and hardly ever shows up until I've used the computer for awhile.
Thanks!
