Issues with TRACKPAD - Work window becomes light grey - MacBook 16 inch 2019

My trackpad gives the effect of "clicking away" to another screen although I don't touch it. The work window suddenly becomes light grey and I need to click on it twice in order to perform any action. I have no idea why this occurs when there is nothing else that is "clicked".

It's a major workflow disturbance and it happens every couple of minutes. Hope you guys can help!

Hi there,

You might have better luck asking this question over in Apple Support Communities run by Apple Support.

I did, but the only solution they are coming up was updating to the latest OS. While this is all well and good, some of the software I use is not yet optimised for it so I cannot just switch. The issue seems to be in the software and it continues, unfortunately.
