Recordings (the only tap registered was an accidental one)

Sometimes the touchpad registers unwanted taps. 

Happens in Windows as well with Dell's touchpad drivers as shipped in Windows 10 (version 15.3.1.1) but not with Elantech's own drivers (version 15.19.7.1).

It does happen with the X11 Synaptics drivers as well, but it's fixable by setting higher values for FingerLow and FingerHigh (10 and 20 are the values that work best for me). With libinput, however, there's no way to adjust the sensitivity. With the X11 Synaptics drivers, these settings could be adjusted by the DE as well (see KDE's input settings controls).

As consequence, I for times have accidentally unselected text, selected text, clicked on buttons (sometimes leading to catastrophic consequences) and closed windows (sometimes multiple windows that were maximized), etc. For this reason, I'm classifying this bug as major. It can lead to user frustration and, sometimes, disasters.
