MacBook Pro pointer moves without interaction

There is some bug of self-moving pointer to bottom left corner. It does move not instantly, so usually I was capable of stopping without it reaching corner. Also it only occurs when I move pointer and try to click. It has been already 3 months as I am encountering this bug. I have tried new software updates and reinstalled macOS once, but it did not help.

Is this with the Macbook Pro 14" shown in your equipment line? Another Apple device?I have to ask because the equipment line is messed up about half the time. Old forum bug.


If so, unexpected trackpad and keyboard behavior can be due to a swelling battery and that requires immediate attention from Apple.


Indicators of swelling:


— uneven gap between the bottom plate and chassis

— bottom plate screws raised or missing

— gap between display and chassis is uneven when display is closed

— A bowed trackpad when you sight across the "deck" at a low angle

— computer "rocks" on a known flat surface


The best really flat test surface in a residence is a solid-surface (quartzite") or granite countertop,

Thank you.


I am asking the Moderators to move this to the MacBook Pro forum section where it will get more views from knowledgeable Macbook Pro users. This forum section,""Using the Communities," is titularly for asking how to use the forums software, but has turned into somewhat of dumping ground in recent years and get fewer views.


Navigation here is rather odd. It is easier if you bookmark this site map for future use: Site Map - Apple Community
