Previously I could use the magic keyboard trackpad to click on a window and bring it to the front. Now I need to tap the window on the screen to do this. I am using a 2020 Ipad pro with ipados 16.3.1
iPad Pro (2nd generation)
iPadOS 16.6 is current. If you haven’t already done so, you should update as soon as practicable - as this update includes essential security and functional fixes.
Just to be sure that you are using the correct Magic Trackpad gestures with your iPad, here is a link to the relevant section of the iPad User Guide:
Trackpad gestures for iPad - Apple Support
The User Guide is a rich and often overlooked source of information for iPad and iPadOS.
Assuming that the correct gestures are not operating as expected, try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often resolve an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
