Tap-to-click issue on MacOS 12.0.1

Sorry, but that link is not the one he posted or was referring to. That link was quoted from my post, and he said that it wasn't the best one.

He was saying that this link: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ was not only for beta testers and was for general users. And while it is apparently open to anyone using it, it is clearly intended for beta testers or developers.

Tap to click is not working correctly on my apple magic trackpad 2... the problem started when I upgrade my MacBook Air M1to macOS Monterey.

This is very annoying, it interferes with the work and decreases productivity.

It looks like a software related problem, Is there any fix?

Thanks,

Ricardo

Hi all - Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm so happy to see other people suffering through this misery. I thought I was going crazy! This is suddenly happening on my Monterey 12.1b 16" M1 Max MPB, and it's driving me bonkers!

Submitted feedback as requested. REALLY hope the next update fixes this crap.

One month ago, I bought my first new MacBook Pro M1. After a few days of using it, I saw the issue. I was so nervous and tried to google very much but couldn't see any one having the same issue. Now I read those comments and I'm feeling less worry at the moment. I hope it's just a software issue and the Apple team will fix it soon.

As @bso already mentioned, a related issue still remains with Beta 4. The three/four finger swipe gesture to switch desktops or show Mission Control fails to work 10-20% of the time. It just bounces back. I've reported it through the Feedback Assistant as an appendix to this topic.

Just took delivery of a new M1 Max MBP. I used Migration Assistant and copied over everything from my Big Sur 13" MBP. I do not have the issue, but noticed a couple of strange things.

One, in the settings, tap to click isn't even selected. In Accessibility, trackpad 3 finger dragging is also not selected. Everything works, but it isn't actually selected. I'm afraid to select them in fear that the issue will present itself.

Also, and this may be unrelated, but when using modifier keys with the tap, it takes like 3 taps for it to register. In Safari and in Finder using modifier keys requires extra clicks. In Safari, Command Tapping a link to open in a new tab, it requires 3 taps. It's reliable and always 3. Never seen that behavior and wonder if there is actually some explicit setting causing this. Haven't poked around yet, but will tomorrow.

At any rate, hoping to see 12.1 sooner rather than later.

I have updated to the new 12.1 Monterey and (command+ tap-to-click) still 30% responds only after 3rd time tapping

Sometimes it really works good, but then ...again

Should I return my mbp 14, I like it, but don't know what to do

Thank you

I'm not on 12.1, sorry. As I state above, I can deal with three taps to do whatever when I use modifier keys. It is consistent and reliable and not a huge deal, now anyway. It needs to be fixed for sure, but since it is consistent and reliable (well, actually, not totally reliable because occasionally, in some apps, it works with one click as it should), it is not a stress inducer for me.

Working fine for me now. My MBP M1 Max still has the issue that modifier keys require 3 taps before they work. Very weird. If I click with the modifier key it works straightaway, but not with taps. My updated late 2015 iMac does not require 3 taps.

Having the same issue on an M1 MBP from 2020. Been noticing slightly flakey behaviour with both single tap and pinch to zoom for a few weeks, but we use a lot of browser-based stuff at work and I thought maybe it was just something about how those apps were implemented. But as of today, I can no longer double-tap-and-drag AT ALL.

I really don't want to have to hard-click this stuff from now on! (I hate it and the muscle-memory will take a long time to overwrite.) I've updated to MAC OS 12.1 after reading this and other threads, but no dice :(

As for the drag+drop issue, for example when moving files in the finder, I contacted the Apple support. The guy was literally laughing at me and said he experienced the same many times . He said this a new function and I need to press and hold CMD while moving files around with the mouse pointer (using the Trackpad). Actually it works but he didn't seem to be very convincing to me. Why should it be a new function? I want to have it like before. The issues persists with 12.1.

I've sent it already and you just said what you've said about clean my mac. But as i said, before i've already uninstalled it and reinstall macos

Well, of course but you know, it's not my decision to use x86 app)) Skype, whatsapp, even shazam, just doesn't have native version. And what is strange, why was everything ok on big sur?
