google/butterfly: Erratic touchpad behavior in cold weather

[mrnuke]

Have any of you noticed this with the Pavilion 14 Chromebook? You take
it outside from the warm house, open the lid to resume, and the mouse
pointer moves heratically. It becomes impossible to co control, and the
only way to bring it back to sanity is to completely power off. When the
system comes back on, the issue is gone.

My guess would be tiny droplets condensating on touchpad. Water can
confuse capacitative touchpads. By the time you reboot they are frozen
and no longer an issue.I'd try wiping the droplets with tissue.
