Oct 1, 2016 9:10 AM in response to jedschby Grant Bennet-Alder,Some users have seen success by changing preferences to ignore stray input from the trackpad.
Others have been forced to put the computer on a lower surface to get their hands up and away from the trackpad while typing.
Still others needed to have their trackpad replaced.

Oct 1, 2016 11:12 AM in response to jedschby Allan Jones,Another more sinister problem is that a swelling battery can cause the trackpad to act erratically. You can't check that yourself on your model unless you can see that the case is deforming---you will need to have Apple look at it if Grant's first two options do not resolve this.
