Reading about this problem brings up the opportunity to comment on mine.
It seems that the track pad bar on my 2400 is not working as it should.
Sometimes I have to press the button either more than once or just very
hard in order for it to click-choose; other times when I am selecting a
group of icons or dragging an icon(s), I loose them as though I had
released the pad button eventhough I had not.
Has anyone any explanations for this problem and any suggestions on how
to fix it? It is not severe now but I fear it will get worse.
Pedro.
