Command + tap-to-click still not working properly on 2021 M1 Macbook Pro

If you bought it directly from Apple, they have a 14-day no questions asked return policy.

Yes I know, I've red the previous topic and someone had his mbp replaced but stil had the same issue.

I guess I could have been more elaborate. Since there seems to be no solution, I personally wouldn't keep a Mac that doesn't work correctly. Will Apple ever fix that on those particular Macs? What else is wrong with the TrackPad implementation?

Have you contacted AppleCare?

I do have the same issue - amongst some more unusual problems.

Thus said - my MB Pro 2021 (Nov) was replaced 2 weeks ago by a new one. But some of the problems are back again.

Did update to MacOS 12.6 today - trackpad issue as described above returned back, or is still there.

The frustrating part is, that some users seem not to have this issue, and it remains unclear, whether it is a software/OS or a hardware issue or a combination of it.

To the experts here - which log files in Apple Console would you check and what specifically would you look for? (e.g. my new machine is now 11 days old - I have roughly 170 entries in the diagnostics folder, including 6 Panic reports). On a machine in normal condition, would it be the same?

macOS logs everything. There will be hundreds of things in that folder.

None of them are useful to anybody except the person that wrote the code being logged.

Six panic logs is not good. You should not have any kernel panics at all.

Thanks for your reply,

to be more precise, the panics mainly seem to occur with the use of a backup software - GoodSync. We (developer and me) try to evaluate when it exactly happens - it could be the way network drives are addressed. However, the MB system froze today during a disk utility fist aid check, after the internal data volume was ejected without reason.

Regarding the trackpad issue, it persists regardless of having all equipment attached/connected, or everything off, including bluetooth turned off, or even working in safe mode (to be fair, there it seems to happen less often).

As a standard end user, I just want to be sure, whether my computer is save to work in normal standards, or if I need to worry to lose my work.

I think the only data loss you might experience is unsaved changes to files when a panic occurs.

I have no knowledge of the previous thread. Can you elaborate on the problem.

I don't have any problems using cmd-tap on an M1 Mini. I am using it with an old TrackPad (not Force Touch), though.

I cannot recreate the issue, command+click opens in a new tab "behind" the current one.

I still cannot recreate your issue. I use it all the time, without consideration for holding a key for at least a second and using touch to click.
