In thunar file manager, single/double click behavior is chosen by
Edit->Preferences->Behavior.

What desktop environment are you using?
Have you checked your double-click delay settings?
In xfce, menu->settings->mouse->behavior.

Or try another mouse.  This week I had to replace a mouse because of
erratic left-click behavior.

Good luck!
