Dell :: E4600. Does Touching The Trackpoint Or Touchpad Register As A Left Click Sometimes?

i've noticed now, and it's annoying that sometimes when i touch the trackpoint or touchpad LIGHTLY, like just right before.

i use it, it'll register it as a left click and i'll end up dragging things around instead of moving the cursor..

so now i try to plan and leave the cursor at an area of the screen/desktop where it won't select anything.. .

happens maybe 5% of the time, but since i use those pointing devices so much it's annoying. doesn't happen when i have a mouse though btw..
