Voicing my experience here - as someone who thinks it's a hardware issue... I dual boot this machine and play games on the Windows side. I've never had it appear in Windows 10. Also, the couple of comments in Launchpad are the only reports I can find _anywhere on the Internet_ of it happening in Win.

There are many reports from users who have had the touchpad replaced, or reseated. They think it's OK for a week or two, then it returns. I've even read threads from people who have gone through 3 or more replacements this way. :(

I'm inclined to think it's something that the windows driver accidentally papers over. Is the touchpad size detection in Win the same? Is there potentially a small dead zone around the outside, or are we potentially detecting a larger surface than exists?
