When using a 2012 Macbook Air the trackpad regularly stops tracking individual finger movements during use (the cursor stops responding to movement). Once I lift my finger and once again touch the trackpad it starts working again, so the symptoms are isolated to a single uninterrupted touch. Needless to say it is very disruptive to whatever you're doing at the time. This occurred seemingly randomly until today when I could deteremine that I only have to tilt my finger towards me to create a larger area of contact with the trackpad in order to make it stop tracking. This also explains why it often appeared to happen right after a click, where I'm using extra force on the trackpad in order to activate the physical switch. The tolerances are apparently much too low, making me lose control of the mouse cursor extremely often (compared to Windows and macOS, where it basically never happens). A gradual increase of the contact area should not result in a complete failure to continue tracking, especially after the touch has long since been identified as a single finger.
