Double click on mac doesnt work
It's like my Macbook has decided navigating should no longer be an option Basically the 'right click' doesn't function.
Just happened as I flew from Montreal to Chicago. Maybe the battery did the swelling thing or maybe being to rough with it over the years has taken its toll. Not fun to use without this funtion. My trackpad keeps trying to select things on my screen. It is as if I have clicked and dragged but i haven't and I can't "release" the click therefore can't click on anything else. Restarting my computer fixes it for a time but it seems to be getting worse. I fear this is a hardware problem but the closest Apple store is 8 hours away!

Trackpad of my Macbook, stopped working properly. It's clicking, moving fast, zoom in, zoom out but I can't select.
