Re: click-doubling



Update: I just tried out another mouse that I had forgotten I had, and
it within five or six clicks, the same thing happened.  So it's not a
problem with the mouse.

I've been having a strange problem since I installed debian (woody) on my G4 a few weeks ago. Now and then (several times a day), I'll single-click on something, and it's as if I've double-clicked.

It happens in all programs. Here's a small sampling of all the things that happen because of this:

1) sometimes in Mozilla, I'll click "reply" or "compose",
   and two message windows will appear.
2) sometimes I'll click on a tool in Gimp, and the "tool
   options" window will appear, as if I had double-clicked.
3) sometimes I'll click on a word in an editor, and
   instead of placing an insertion point where I click,
   it selects the entire word
4) It even happens with my fluxbox menu (things open twice
   sometimes), which I find especially strange, since that
   menu disappears when you select something.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? I'd say it's the mouse, except for the fact that it happens in the fluxbox menu, and the fact that it doesn't happen in either of my MacOSes.

Thanks,

Thomas
