Trackpad misses first tap after upgrade to Monterey

I have the same issue and it's driving me crazy. Also, my GarageBand won't open on the first try now. Apple support is just as bad as every other company now. They used to have computer techs who knew the answers and now they are just people who read the same instructions that we do to try and fix the issues. So you wind up on the phone hours to do what you already did before calling.

I have the same issue, thought it was first hardware or me, glad to see it's not. Sad to see so many affected by this. I tried setting it to more "light", but the behaviour is not as it used to be.

Please Apple, recognise this bug and fix it, the trackpad has been one of those things that just works and this makes it insanely frustrating to use...

The mysterious thing is that in this case it's something positive. They have solve the problem. But maybe they just follow the idea that it could be negativ judgment about the xxx and then the AI robot delete it?

Problem still persists, no official updates yet. In fact just when I was login in here I had to tap 3 times in the login credential fields for the trackpad to recognize the input. It's extremely annoying and it is surprising to me Apple messed up with such a basic functionality that has always worked perfectly before Monterey.

My machine is an intel MacBook Pro mid-2019 full spec.

Just to pile on, I am having the same issue. MBP using an external Magic Trackpad. Figured it was my Magic Trackpad since it's several years old, or maybe I was just at fault even though I've never had issues tapping before, but now that I think about it, it only started happening after my upgrade. Annoying, but not infuriating -- still, needs to be fixed, since annoying can eventually become infuriating :)

I have a similar issue with my MBA M1. Sometimes the 1st tap to click doesn't work, the next one does. Very annoying bug

I have the same problem on a Mac mini M1 with a Magic Trackpad :(

I'm a graphic designer and I can't work with the trackpad anymore because of this.

Same here with trackpad on Mac Pro 2019

Same problem here. Monterey 12.0.1 on M1, 2020 MacBook Air 8GB. Restarting doesn't help. Very frustrating!

Same here on my MB Air M1. Very noticeable, was not an issue until upgrade to Monterey. Happens in every application.

Same issues here. Tap to click randomly misses inputs

Actually, I've also noticed that occasionally the mouse/pointer jumps to a different location. Not sure if it's a related issue, but has anybody else noticed the same?

Yes, it's only happened a few times for me, but it was very noticeable.

Okay, yeah, it's also rare for me, and when it does happen it jumps several centimetres. Hopefully a fix won't be too far off.
