    I don't know if anyone have this problem, but BOTH my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air Trackpad sometimes get stuck in drag mode.

    For example, I will select a Window, say Firefox, by clicking the top to drag it to another position. When I lift my finger and press the trackpad again to click another Windows, the mouse still stuck at Firefox windows and moved that instead.

    This was apparently a well-documented problem as shown in Apple Support Forum.
    I don't know if anyone have any solution to this problem....

    That happens to me also, frequently. I usually reboot to fix it. I figured it was a setting that I was missing. Maybe its not. It sure is annoying.
