Greetings. do you get accidental "grabs" as you try to move the cursor? I never noticed this in the psmouse dkms patch version 0.2, but in 0.9, it happens often. Moving the cursor toward top with a few finger brushes does not always select a region, but sometimes it does.
Is that likely related to this weird thing that happens sometimes. I remove hands from typing, lifting them off the laptop entirely. WHen I start typing again, the cursor is in an entirely different spot. It is as if the protection from palm brushes had failed, but in a worse than usual way. This is a Dell Precision M4600.
