Macbook Pro's Force touch isn't working properly :-(

I own a 13 inch M1 MBP and the force touch is not working properly. Sometimes it is either able to look up words over web pages (or any other document) or just take quick look on the folders or files . It cannot do both of these together.

Right now, I am able to look up on the words by force touching but cannot have a quick look on the files and folders stored on my mac. Earlier I could have a quick look but couldn't look up on the words.

After a restart, it does work properly ! Both a quick look and look up ! But I want to know whether it is some software issue or I'm just unaware of some settings related to force touch.

PLEASE HELP !

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2

If it works properly I see no issue, if there was a temporary glitch then it was just that a glitch
