Q: Trackpad issues after updating to 10.10.2, MacBook Air 13" Mid 2012
I'm experiencing sporadic touch clicking of the trackpad after updating to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I'm on a MacBook Air 13" Mid 2012 and haven't had this problem before. It even registers clicks after disabling touch to click...This is very, very, very frustrating.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
