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
