Trackpad on macbook air responds to slightest touch and moves cursor. This is ruining my writing and wasting endless hours readjusting my script. All the so/called fixes don’t reduce this sensitivity. Trackpad much too sensitive. The slightest touch moves cursor so typescript becomes totally nonsensical and has to be rewritten. All the usual advice for adjustment does not address this issue.
