The touchpad on the right- and left-hand sides, always becomes unresponsive to the single tap (left click command to windows). I can single tap anywhere in this area, and there will be no left click response in Windows. The only way to then send a left click command to windows is to click outside this area (marked in the diagram below and indicated with felt marker on device) OR force click the touchpad.
This causes usability issues with precise movement and when clicking around during productivity work. Especially with nearby text and tables. As I am a right -hand user, and since the touchpad is offset towards the left, I use the right-hand side of the touchpad frequently.
I have been able to replicate this by following these steps:
1. Open Excel or Word.
2. Type a line of text and push enter.
3. Move the cursor slightly (less then 2 inches on screen distance)
4. Single tap in the grey zone, Left click response in windows wont register
5. The only way to alleviate this, is to single tap outside the grey zone or force tap anywhere OR move the cursor 6 inches quickly then tap in grey zone.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers, increased sensitivity to no avail. This is a hardware issue, or an issue with the touchpad drivers.
