Q: trackpad2 - 3 finger drag, 1 sec lag on release

when i first turned it on under trackpad settings or accessibility there was definitely not a 1-2 second release lag. i used it for days and it perfect. i'm a computer gamer and professional designer so i operate a mouse/pad/cursor very quickly. all of a sudden there's a 1-2 sec release lag which makes the 3 finger drag feature unusable for me.

 

when i turn to the internet, there's posts about it being indented or as designed... any fix/advice for this release lag?

 

thanks!

MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    Wangmander, I don't have a solution to your problem, but I am very curious about how you managed to make your Magic Trackpad 2 actually do a three-finger drag! I can't find that in the System Prefs of my new iMac, and I miss it from when I had it on my previous Mac. How did you set that up? Thanks!

    I just re-read and noticed the horrible auto-correct/phone typing errors.

     

    Buuuuut, to answer your question, you go here:

     

    system pref > accessibility > trackpad options > enable dragging > three finger drag

    Oh, thank you!!! I've been going crazy trying to remember how I got this before, and I'm so grateful to have it back again! Thanks so much!
