I'm using MBA 11.6" version, which I bought 6 months before. I can't use the Chinese trackpad after upgraded to Lion 10.7. I did try to "pause" the trackpad and resume again, sometimes it work but it's too troublesome if I need to switch between different language / switch between mouse click and Chinese input.


Anyone please HELP me out with such annoying situation. I'm disappointed with such significant bug.

Same problem here with a MBA 13" Core2Duo (Late 2010). Was working just fine in Firefox, and Chrome.

But it is working funny in MS Word & Excel 2011 for Mac. Sometimes it does, other times doesn't work.

Seems like pause it, then pick chinese fonts, then it just might work.

Took me 4 times the usual time required to complete my text page.

It was working just fine in 10.6.6 before I upgraded to 10.7.

Feels like a bug. Hope Apple can fix it soon.

Got the problem fixed, here is the magic; at least it works for me.

1.) goto System Perferences -> Language & Text -> Input Sources

2.) enable Chinese - Simplified first, then, press Shift+Control+Space

3.) will enable the Simplified trackpad hand write. (Alert box)

4.) then, back to the Language & Text -> disable the Trackpad Handwriting form Chinese - Simplified

5.) Finally, enable the Trackpad handwriting form Chinese - Traditional -> press Shift+Control+Space (Alert Box)

6.) Magic...
