Hi folks-

I've been having this problem since Snow Leopard with my 17 inch MacBook Pro (mid 2009). The "work around" was to close the top to sleep the computer, then it would let go. It makes the machine almost unusable, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is yet a fix, or if there is a fix planned. I have "Enable Dragging without Drag Lock" selected. The behavior occurs regardless of whether there is an external mouse/trackball/magic trackpad enabled or not. I'm running 10.8.2, do not have AirDisplay installed (or anything like it) and really would like to use this machine. Any help would be much appreciated.
