Touchpad on laptop not registering "touch" click about 5% of the time

[jasbur]

I have a Dell Inspiron 7373 laptop. The touchpad works really well except it seems to miss about 1 in 20 "touch" clicks. By that I mean not a fully depressing the trackpad until it makes an audible click, but a surface tap with the "Tap to Click" option enabled from the "Mouse and Touchpad" under the "Devices" menu in Settings.

Physically clicking the touchpad always works and all other Touchpad functions seem to work perfectly.
