How to stop my mouse (track pad) hover from performing a click

A new problem related to a recent update?


When using my mouse (track pad) to hover over a linked button (e.g. email : Send, or a hyperlinked URL in an article) it performs the click action without me actually clicking!


How to stop this?

Restart the computer holding down the command - option/alt - P - R keys before the gray screen appears. Continue to hold until you hear the startup chime for the second time. You may need to do this 2-3 times.

Reset NVRAM/PRAM


Try a SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.


Reset SMC
