The issue may not have improved but has not gotten worse.
I did see it happen where the cursor did not go to the left edge, but it did happen to move to the left.

Title:
  Inspiron 3543 TouchPad cursor jumps to left edge unexpectedly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At times (mostly undetermined) when touching the glide pad to take an
  action the cursor will jump to the left edge of the screen.

  I do not recall the system ever taking ACTION based on the click at the new location.
  ex: side bar opening, etc

  It may not ever take the action at the ORIGINAL location, I can't be
  sure since I am only alerted when things don't happen as I expect.

  If I am using the keyboard to type or scroll (arrows) I have not
  noticed anything strange.

  I am not sure if it only happens when attempting a Left click or a
  Right Click.

  As a developer I think it is seeing my Click and reading the position
  incorrectly or hitting some other error condition. I do believe it is
  a result of my click.
