touchpad pointer jumps back when I take my finger off
This has happened a couple of times now. I don't know what causes it.
When I drag my pointer across the screen with the touchpad - the moment I take my finger off the touchpad, the pointer jumps back to its previous location. Once this starts, it keeps doing this. If I am very persistent and fast, I can get the pointer to eventually move to other parts of the screen, but it takes a while.
The first time this happened, a warm reboot fixed it. This time, all I had to do was "threaten" to restart (i.e. I got to the 'Turn off Computer' screen, but it actually cleared up before I had to restart).
This strongly indicates a software glitch, not a glitch in the hardware.
