MBP i7 Windows 7 64 bit trackpad drivers are buggy.
I've had my new MBP for a week now. I like it but I'm frustrated with the trackpad.
There's a bug in the two finger right click. It seems to send a left click when you release the button. As an example, if I want to pin a program to the taskbar. Normally, you right click on the program then click on the "pin this program to the taskbar" line on the pop up menu. When I do that with the two finger click, the pop up menu disappears when I lift my fingers from the pad. The only way I can get it to work is if I move my fingers a little bit to trigger the drag function. Then I can release and click on the pop up menu. It doesn't do this with the bottom corner right click method.
All in all, I'm not happy with the new multi-touch trackpad. This is not a user friendly piece of hardware. It works great as long as you don't need to right click on anything. Right clicking is awkward no matter which method you use - even without the bugs.
I'd prefer a setting that lets you press the fn key to trigger the right click. I think that would work better than the two supported methods - at least for me. I haven't been able to find any programs for Windows that will do it. Does anyone know of any?
Also, is there an official place to report bugs?
