Trackpad Half Freezing Randomly [Solved]

Hello All,

On my Dell XPS 13 9350, the trackpad will randomly stop moving. However, I can still things, if I hold down the trackpad I can move the mouse, and instead of two finger scroll, one finger scrolls. If I wait for a while, it will start working again, but will likely happen again soon after. If I sleep the laptop and wake it again, it works fine, probably won't happen again for a while. Any suggestions?

Edit: Recently updated synaptics, seems to have completely fixed the problem

What make and model trackpad?  (Use xinput)
Which driver are you using (synaptics? libinput?)
