I have this problem with my mouse in Linux. I don't know if it's the<br>
mouse or if it's Linux, because I only use this mouse in Linux. But<br>
I've swapped out the mouse a couple of times and still have the<br>
problem, and I don't have this problem when in Windows.<br>
<br>
What happens is that a single physical click on the mouse ends up<br>
being two clicks on the computer. If I want to select a file in<br>
Nautilus, I'll end up double clicking and opening it. If I click a<br>
link in a web page it'll click the link and then immediately click<br>
whatever's below the mouse pointer on the next page. Or I'll select a<br>
menu in an application and it'll open it and then immediately close<br>
it, because I've "clicked" again.<br>
<br>
Is this something funny with X? Is there a way to introduce a short<br>
pause in accepting mouse input after a click? I think I could deal<br>
with the annoyances there, in exchange for getting rid of the<br>
click-click.<br>
