I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a dell inspiron 15R 5521. I had this issue of the touchpad left click not working, so I had to reinstall ubuntu 16.04. It was working fine until today, when the left mouse click stopped working.

shreyas jani, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) To clarify, was there an update applied that afterwards this issue was reproducible?
2) Is this still reproducible after applying the latest HWE stack as notedin https:/
