Macbook Air M2 trackpad/pointer issues

I am having an issue with my M2 MBA with the trackpad cursor randomly picking up text or items and dropping them off in unintended places. It will also open items by itself just by hovering over the item without clicking on it or randomly highlighting sections of text. This only happens when using the trackpad cursor, never when using the Magic Mouse. I tried searching these forums, but was only able to find discussions from several years ago, so I thought I would pose the question and hopefully get some answers. Thank you!
