A system for interpretation of gesture on a non-all-points-addressable multi-touch input device having integrated buttons. The system for interpretation of gesture on a non-all-points-addressable multi-touch input device having integrated buttons implements a time based method of disregard of a certain button input for a predefined period of time if a user has not actuated the button for a predefined period of time. In certain embodiments, the system detects that a user has had a finger resting on the left button area but has not actuated the left button. If a finger is actively detected performing cursor movement, then another finger is placed on top of the certain button area (i.e., a resting finger), the system can choose to ignore the resting finger with an assumption that the user intends to navigate with the cursor and rest the other finger based on the action and surface area of the second finger (i.e., the other finger).
