I keep clicking on the "Getting Started" link in Firefox instead of the Back button or the leftmost tab. I've also clicked on ads in Livestream instead of the close button, which kicks you out of Livestream and wipes the chat.

What misclicks do you make often, if any?

Sometimes I'll click a link on what must be the pixel after the very edge of the link so this means the page won't load since I didn't actually click it. I'll sit there for at least 5-10 seconds before realizing that I didn't click it...

My laptop and the two at work like to click on something without notice. I find myself yelling at them when that happens. Especially when it's "mark forums read".

Do they have touchpads?

That's why I disable the tap-to-click feature on touchpads; I keep getting accidental clicks. Then, in the rare case that someone else uses the laptop, they generally expect tapping to be enabled and they get confused.

I think I've accidentally clicked on the block buddy button in AIM clients. At least that has a confirmation though.

I keep tap-to-click enabled because at night in bed I can't use a mouse. Sure, I can use the touchpad buttons but it's sometimes faster to just tap the pad. Even if on occasion I have misclicked because my thumb skimmed it or something. What's more annoying is if I hit the little mouse nipple thingy in the center of the keyboard and accidentally click using that. I should just disable that one entirely since I NEVER use it.

I do have a USB mouse, but I don't feel like taking that to work with me and I forgot to bring it with me tonight.

I'm the reverse, FP. I actually prefer the old-fashioned mouse nipples, and they take up less space, too I usually plug in a USB mouse though. I like mice.

Aside from that... nah, not much...

bleh

Before rearranging the firefox toolbars, I had a tendency to misclick an RSS feed with the middle button when I wanted to close a tab.

Cue tabs for each entry appearing everywhere.

This seems to be a common problem with laptop touchpads...

When you are typing stuff in with the keyboard, for some reason the text caret either moves back several characters, or move up half of the screen that I'm working in. So annoying. :|

I hate that! That's why I try to not write on my laptop.

why are we talking about mouse nipples
help


I disable tap-to-click on everything. In the rare case I somehow need it, I'll enable it on a per-case basis. It's just too much of a nuisance otherwise, though...

I somehow landed on "Logout" instead of "Edit Profile" and ended up logging out, then I couldn't get back in. Not sure if it was an IP ban or what, but I ended up IMimg Xkeeper about it. Turns out it was a cookie problem.

That's because you're probably accidentally hitting the mouse nipple hard enough to activate a click and your cursor is a few lines back.

I hit "Logout" instead of "Edit profile" all the time.

So much that at one point I was counting the number of times I misclicked, but I eventually lost track.

I do this all the time as I'm on an iPhail. I can never hit the right link if there's more near it.
