Since upgrading to a paraguay build of 0.84, the behaviour of the capacitive pad seems to have changed. Rather than infrequent long periods of failure where I needed to lick my finger or plug in a mouse, it seems to have shorter periods more frequently of raised sensitivity, as if the pad is being periodically recalibrated.
It is no longer a problem because the behaviour always clears before it has been much of a problem. Has something been fixed? Is the patch necessary?
