Hi:
Curious bug in Valentina's MacBook Pro yesterday. The machine was entirely unresponsive to the mouse or trackpad click. Same with an external USB mouse - we could move the mouse normally, and right-click, but the standard left-click just didn't work. It was the same for all users (although it was hard to log in as other than the default user since we could only control the Mac using the keyboard). Resetting the PRAM didn't help, as didn't booting in Safe Mode.
Finally fixed it by going to the recovery partition and re-installing the OS, but still... Has anyone else ever seen this?

I had something similar years ago with an old MacBook but cured it with a reboot. There
seems to be lots of advice on the net on how to overcome the problem but I can't find
anything describing what could cause the problem. Presumably the MBP is up to date macOS-wise?

I think this is not relevant anyway. More important is the integrity of
the OS and not its patch level.
In such a situation it is impossible to judge the integrity without
forensic tools. In my opinion the OP has done the right thing to start
with a clean sheet.

Remind me, please ..... do YOU support the use of EtreCheck to review
the integrity of an Apple computer? https://www.etresoft.com/

I do not know or use this software. There was never a need to do so.

Not at all! The use of EtreCheck is widely advocated on the ASC forums,
yet you claim never to have heard of it.
You are a newcomer here. Learning the ropes is recommended. ❤️

Well at least it doesn't involve a certain AV product (yet).

Sorry to say: You have no clue of anything. Look into my header, little
boy. BTW it is so easy to fake the header.

This is not the way I guarantee the integrity of my macOS. But to be
honest I'm not surprised because you also believe in snake oil.

And you are the netcop in this group? Seriously?

indeed it is. perhaps someone can tie you to a tree, during a
thunderstorm, using their newly found rope skills.
