On my acer timeline M5, when I tap on my touchpad, the mouse moves a
little bit each tap. This can be reproduced by going to an area of the
desktop and steadily tapping on the mousepad at a rhythm that would
cause a single tap event. You can see that the mouse will move slightly
during many of these tap events, which when trying to perform precise
clicks (ex. closing tabs in a web browser, selecting text) may cause the
pointer to move enough distance to cause an unintended mouse click.
Suggested fix would be to not allow any x, y coordinate change when a
tap is detected, otherwise allow the mouse movement (i.e. in the non-tap
scenario).
