Sensitivity on Mac trackpad is acting weird

I copy and pasted this from another thread, it explains pretty perfectly what is going on with my new MacBook Pro (2021)

I tried to adjust sensitivity on the trackpad, but it is still doing this, see below


I was writing this line here and the cursors just jumped into the middle

of the phrase "away and it reacts" and when I looked up at what I had

written it had put works I was writing in this sentence into the middle

of that "away and it reacts" phrase.... Hopeless.


thanks!

I have no idea what you are saying here— Is your issue "Letters jumping around, inserting words in odd spaces" ?
