The trackpad of my MacBook Pro has been acting up after I used a cold blow dryer to pass over it once (no, no liquid spilled on it, id just wanted to blow dust away).
After blowing, it seems the trackpad be clicking on its own. I’ll simply be scrolling and it’ll be clicking on stuff or dragging.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3
