Double tap and hold to drag not working. I used to be able to double tap and hold to drag and highlight. That seems to be not working any more. I am using an M1 MacBook Pro. There also was a setting in the System Settings under Trackpad that I could lock that until tapping again. That seems to be gone now as well. Now I must click the trackpad and hold to do either and I cannot continue highlighting when I release the click. I anyone else having this problem and is there a solution to the problem?

Macbook pinch to zoom not working half the time Hi, so i just got a new M3 air and i just noticed that the pinch to zoom is not that great. It works only 50-65% of the time. Im just wondering if this is normal? Everything else still works and all the other gestures i use still works too. Just the pinch to zoom that iam a bit concerned. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Thanks. (macos sonoma 14.4)
