Think of the trackpad as one large button.
The MacBook trackpad 'gives' when you press on it.
That's how you are able to click down on it.
It's apparently possible that the slate button that is the trackpad shifts and moves and may get stuck, positioned to closely to edge of the MacBook casing it's sitting in.
What's happening is that (possibly after cleaning or pressing Down too forcefully or just over time with regular use) the trackpad has come to rest in a way where one side of the trackpad is very close to the MacBook body.
Apparently causing the trackpad to create erratic input commands without you touching it at all.
If you look closely at the very edges of the trackpad you may notice that there is more "room" between the trackpad and the part of the MacBook surrounding the trackpad on the right or left side.
Unplug the MacBook and take any and every precaution to not get electrocuted and use some thin hard plastic to carefully move the trackpad away from the side it's to close to and toward the center.
You could also try to push down firmly on the track pad with all your finger tips and try to slide the trackpad over with just your hands instead.
I even saw some say that if you press down on all four corners of the trackpad firmly might be enough to align it back in place.
Does that make sense?
I can't explain how the trackpad being out of position would cause the erratic inputs but as I've said this worked for me. If the problem comes back I'll let everyone know and stop selling this snakewater solution.
and 'moves' around slightly within
(especially the lower left and right corners)
Think of the trackpad as one large button. It's like one big button sitting inside the MacBook surrounded by the actuall MacBook body.
