Hi,
It's likely a hardware issue. The best option would be to use an external
mouse, either USB or Bluetooth. Both are much less expensive than a new
machine and someone may even have one lying around that she could have.

No problem, Jonathan. I tried the same gesture with Trackpad Commander on and
