Can you provide us with a bit more information? What is the exact model of your dell laptop? Does it also have a touchpad? Are you using mousekeys by any chance? Thank you for helping us help you!

Do you get the same result if you disable your touchpad?

actually I disabled tap on click , then it worked. so now I'm clicking like how we click using mouse. but it is quite irritating to use that way. Is there any better solution?

I don't have your specific hardware but this sounds to me like you may need to reduce touchpad sensitivity

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It's really frustrating and makes almost impossible to work with Ubuntu because the pointer activates automatically pointed things. have tried both mouse and touch pad. The other thing is that Ctrl+C is not working after one paints an area for copying; the painting just disappears when I push the Ctrl-button.
If somebody could help me with this problem?
