There are a number of steps you can do in order to improve the stability while clicking on different UI elements:

• Explicitly wait for it's presence in the DOM
• Scroll into the element view
• Check if clickable

Does it helped the stability?

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 3)
JavascriptExecutor js = ((JavascriptExecutor) driver)

//presence in DOM
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElement(By.id("ID")));

//scrolling
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("ID")));  
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

//clickable
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("ID")));

Further, if you will decide to override the default Actions interface with more customized one, you can use two type of clicks (for example): click() which will have all those stability steps and fastClick() which will be the default clicking without any varification.
