We are working with the manufacturer of the touchpad to try and solve 
this issue.

My only advice right now is to just try to continue to try and use the 
pad removing your finger every few seconds.  Eventually things will fix 
although it may return again in the future.

The issue is almost completely random and it will come and go.  Just 
bear with us until we figure it out.

Thanks.
