Sky display will not respond to MacbookAir Touchpad

[Kevin]

After upgrade to 0.13.1 on OSX 10.9.5, I am only able to use the touchpad to navigate the screen until selecting an object.
Then I am unable to ever use the touchpad on the Stellarium screen to select anything.
The touchpad does work for Stellarium menu items and dialog boxes and for moving the sky view around.
Reinstallation resets the touchpad select function until such time something is actually selected when the fault recurs.
This fault is not present on the Windows version running in Parallels.

Please try version 0.13.0.82 - https://launchpad.net/stellarium/+download

Hello Alexander,
I cannot find 0.13.0.82 at that link. There is a 0.13.1.82 that I see is a dev build. Did you mean that?

Also: an update on the issue behavior description.

 It is initiated when touchpad gestures are used to zoom in or out on the sky view. After that point, the touchpad cannot be used to select objects in the sky view. Closing then restarting Stellarium brings back the selection functionality until the zoom gesture is used again which then disables the selection function.

I will load 0.13.1.82 and see if the behavior remains.

Thanks

addendum:
Using Command+Up/dwn keys to zoom in the sky view does not initiate the fault. Only the zoom gestures on the touchpad.

0.13.1.82 was removed just before I could download it and was replaced by 0.13.1.85 which I downloaded and installed.
It displays version 0.13.2.
Touchpad selection works but the gesture zoom feature is greatly impacted and is not usable. It does not recognize my usual zoom index + thumb "pinch" and only zooms in a very small amount when using index + middle finger. It can never zoom out.
As a workaround, I prefer this version as it does not require app restart to allow object selection. I can always revert to the keyboard to zoom until a solution can be resolved.
It seems work is being done around touchpad utility which I appreciate very much. I will be happy to try out more releases to test this feature.
Thanks

Zoom is not a pinch-gesture; it is a two-finger swipe-up or swipe-down. Navigation works fine after an object is selected.

I can not re-create this issue.
