My wife and I both have Mac laptops. Mine is a 2014 MBP 15". Her's is a 13" MBA 2012. Since the Mojave upgrade, things have been weird.
On mine, the trackpad doesn't always click. I mean, I can feel it click, it goes down, but macOS doesn't always register the click. It usually does the second time though. I thought it could be a hardware issue, but it happened immediately after I upgraded.
Then on my wife's MBA, it acts like Tap-to-Click is turned on, even when it's not. This also started happening with the Mojave update. I tested it to be certain, and yeah, its definitely selecting files when I tap without pressing the trackpad down. I turned it on, it still worked. Then I shut if off, and it sometimes happens, but not always.
I've done scans with Malwarebytes and Sophos. Found some stuff and removed them all. Rebooted several times, reset the PRAM, entered Safe Mode to clear the caches, it is still happening.
At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I'll have a spare hard drive soon, so I'm going to back everything up to that, completely reformat the drive on both laptops, and just start from scratch. There is a chance there is some app that was installed long ago that is doing something in the background to mess things up, but I have no idea what it might be.
