Resting fingers on Keyboard acts like left mouse click

[FastbackJon]

Hi, 

I noticed that by resting my fingers on the keyboard after moving the touchpad, just the act of resting a finger on the keyboard and not touching the touchpad at all, activates the left mouse click. How can I disable this?

Example of web browsing by manually typing in URLs:

Browse the web in MS Edge browser

Move touchpad mouse up to URL

Tap touchpad to highlight entire URL (you want to type in google.com for example)

Rest fingers on keyboard (left index on G and right index on J) before pressing any keys

Result....

The URL is now unhighlighted, like I had left clicked on the URL, just by resting my fingers on the keyboard.

I can repeat this by just resting my finger on the J-key without touching the touchpad at all. It's annoying and I'd just like to disable it if possible. Thank you.
