Dell Inspiron N7110
So this tends to occur if I get the touchpad wet. I am not talking like a spill or something. Just even cleaning it with some cleaner and a paper towel. Other times though it seems completely random. For instance just now I booted it up for the first time in a few days (so it wasn't wet or recently cleaned) and all of a sudden the cursor is stuck and zooming. Generally it just takes a random number of reboots for it to finally work correctly again. However sometimes turning the touchpad off/on again works. Although I wonder if both of these "fixes" are purely coincidental.
In general what happens is as follows. Boot computer up/wake up. Go to move cursor and notice it is either not moving or moving extremely erratically. After continuing to try and move it I eventually find the window starts resizing/zooming.
Most google searches I have tried are related to the cursor moving while typing which is not what I am after.
I am pretty certain my touchpad drivers are up to date.
I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening or figure out how to make it stop happening. Any help is appreciated.
