My mac doesn't work well...

Hi,

So yesterday I was learning and stuff... everything was okay.. and today i turn on the mac and it seem it loses a track of what im doing and it doesn't respond well to the events or wahtever.

When i have sublimetext for example, and i switch a tab with mouse, or even hold the top of the bar, you know how you move window? e.g. browser window, then i moved it, but it lost the track, and a card was under it and instead of the window moving, it moved it a bit and then it was moving the card under.. also, when i lick, or select, nothing happens for few times. If im on desktop and i want to select few images, then nothing happens, i need to try for the selector to come. Same as when i click, i need to lick few times.

Sometimes when i click with my left button, the computer interpeter it as if i had two right buttons for few sec... like I'm using a computer, and now the left click is my right button, and my right is my right button.. and that happens quite often. iv checked how much space i got and it has around 55gb still, and i did all the updates, whats wrong with this?

Does your Mac have the "Magic mouse" feature?

Yes, i think. Thats not the case though, im pretty sure. When I select something with the mouse, or drag, or click, it happens to drag, and then drop and drag again, and i just tried to move stuff and it doesn't work well.

I don't know, how is it possible to happen from a day to day? I mean, i went sleep, and as soon as i woe up i went on the ocmputer and that happen.

I have the normal mouse , the one without anything, it looks clean.

Licking your computer might not be the best thing to do, and it's dangerous!!!

All jokes aside, do you still experience the same behaviour 10 days after? Maybe a video could explain a bit more, could you do a small demo using QuickTime[1] and upload it for me to inspect?
