Trackpad misses first tap after upgrade to Monterey

After upgrading to Monterey (12.0.1 (21A559) ), using tap (tap to click is activated in trackpad) the first time does nothing. I always need to tap a second time to click/choose something/get in another tab inside my browser etc.

This happens in every program I tried.

Rebooting the machine ( macbook pro 16", 2019) several times didn't bring anything.

I hope this gets fixed in the first update because it's really annoying.

P.S.: Using macbooks and their OSs for more than a decade, this is the first time I had the slightest problem with their -so far- perfectly working trackpad..
