I don't get to post here much often but I'm having a HUGE (game-hindering) problem and it's driving me crazy. On my old laptop, which I just traded in for a new HP Envy touchscreen with Win 8, I used to have NO problem playing minecraft or any of the controls. Only problem was that laptop overheated a lot playing.
The new laptop doesn't overheat and runs the game with NO lag which is great, but the mousepad blows! I've died several times left clicking and it just doesn't hit. I've tried to split items when crafting and the right click doesn't drop a single item or split a stack. I also can't look around (using the mousetrack) and mine at the same time. So if I'm using any keyboard button I can't look around simultaneously.
I've tried changing the controls around but they don't seem to work unless assigned to the trackpad and I have no money after buying this laptop for a wireless mouse too or a place to set a mouse to play MC. It should just work on this freaking laptop like it did on my 5 year old piece of poo laptop!
Oh on another side note, my new laptop is dual-booted with Ubuntu 14.04, and when I play MC on there I have no problem moving around while mining, the controls seem to work slightly better, but I can't split a stack of items or drop an individual one while crafting so it is completely impossible to craft. Making the game, well, impossible to play.
PS - I have figured out in WIn 8.1 if I go to PC Settings and then mouse I can make it so there is no delay in right clicking. No idea why there are two settings for mouse in Win 8.1 but whatever. That fixed almost all my issues on Win 8.1 - EXCEPT - I still can't look around and mine at the same time. Or walk back and hit at the same time if a mob is coming at me. Anyone know a fix for this?
The problem is not your computer, the solution is simple! Just go into your Minecraft options, and turn Touchscreen Mode OFF! I had the same problem when I was experimenting with my settings.

Thanks so much for taking time to try to help me when no one else has I appreciate it a lot!
Unfortunately I already have touch screen settings off so that didn't fix my problem. It makes the game so hard to play, die from mobs easily because I can't look and move at the same time. Crippling I'm stuck on the 360 for now which is so far behind bleh.
Could you maybe try using a mouse? I think it might fix your problem

Apologies for reviving this thread, but I have a solution that I have successfully tested on my HP Envy with Minecraft 1.8.8, so I hope it will fix the problems of all users using HP Envy laptops.
1) Go to Settings.
2) Go to Devices.
3) Go to Mouse and Touchpad.
4) Select "Additional Mouse Options". That should launch the Clickpad options window.
5) Go to Clickpad Settings.
6) Select the Smartsense menu item.
7) Click on the gear icon to open Smartsense's settings window.
8) Slide the slider bar all the way left to the "Off" position.
Now the keys and the touchpad can work simultaneously. However, you do lose the SmartSense protection (which I personally think is annoying anyway, so that's a plus for me!).
Also, I just noticed (after a recent Windows 10 update) that the SmartSense setting may reset back to default after system updates, so you might have to periodically turn it off again.
