since it is part of the default settings, are you sure that tap to click
isn't part of the issue? perhaps the touchpad is too sensitive?

Title:
  [MacBookPro8,2] Laptop keyboard activity and touchpad movements often
  interpreted as clicks

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.

  WORKAROUND: Use external keyboard and mouse.
