Then I can only conclude that you don't think it bothers people that much if they click on random things by accident. I know it would bother me, and I know one Windows user who had to disable tapping because the cursor kept jumping to random places in the text while she was typing. > It can be disabled, but we are talking about the what the default > behavior should be. Defaults should follow the principle of least surprise. A user who taps the touchpad and finds that nothing happens will have a good idea of what to look for in the settings. A user who repeatedly finds herself suddenly typing in the wrong place may have lots of trouble before she figures out that it happens when her palm gets too close to the touchpad. Needing to enable a feature that I know I want doesn't bother me much. Being forced to grope in the dark for the cause of a weird problem bothers me a lot. Björn Persson
