    HI Fab,

     

    well, it was doing the same thing to me. I recomend you the following:

     

    1) clean the touch pad with a soft cloth and only a little bit humid

    2) Dry is with another cloth or if possible with paper

    3) Else try reseting the SMC

    to reset the smc:

     

    1) turn off your mac

    2) plug it to the power

    3) press: left shift + control + option and then at the same time the power button

    4) you will see the light on your mac power to change from orange to green

    5) dont release any of the 4 keys (left shift + control + option + power)

    6)  Then after 10 secs release them all at the same time
