When the touchpad was frozen I used a single touch on the touch screen and it was treated as though I had performedĪ pinch gesture on the touch screen. [ Update: I was able to try touch screen input during a subsequent freeze (still no reliable repro). I have not thought to try touch screen input during a freeze and cannot do so now since I cannot reliably trigger a freeze.

The one time I thought to test it, several sequential cycles of using the keyboard for approximately one second then trying to use the touchpad to move the cursor extended the freeze to approximately 7 secondsīefore I stopped cycling like that, at which point I waited 2-3 seconds and then was able to move the cursor with the touchpad. Keyboard input continues to work during a freeze. As a software dev, my best guessįor where to start looking for the problem would be any synchronous code that could trigger a brief resource contention.įrom subjective experience, the freeze usually lasts 5 or more seconds if I try to move the cursor using the touchpad approximately once a second after the freeze begins (after two or three tries at once a second I then wait 2-3 seconds and when I then tryĪgain the problem has always cleared up to the best of my recollection). If I instead wait approximately three seconds after the freeze begins before I try to move the cursor using the touchpad again, to the best of my recollection it always works on that I have not discovered any guaranteed repro steps nor any set of actions that seem to reliably occasionally trigger the freeze. When a freeze occurs, the mouse cursor typically freezes for somewhere between 3 and 5 seconds. Additionally, the computer is only one and a half months old so it is unlikely to be a problem with aging/failing hardware. ] before I had a chance to install or update any software or change any system settings).
