Public bug reported: Issue: On a Dell XPS 13 9350, with HWE Kernel 5.0, when tap-to-click is enabled in cinnamon, after a few hours of use tap-to-click will cease to work.
If I go into cinnamon's touchpad preferences in this state (without changing anything), the tap-to-click option will still appear enabled and will work again for a few hours until this step needs repeating. Steps to reproduce Enable touchpad tap-to-click, and use the computer for a few hours.
