Public bug reported:

On a MacBookPro8,2, the track pad often fires off a click even when it
is not pressed.  This can happen when typing on the keyboard (not
touching the trackpad) or when actually using the mouse but not
clicking.  Such events make it fairly unsafe to use GUI applications
that do not have an "undo" function for each possible action.  Nothing
seems to make the false clicks more or less likely to happen.
