    Judging by these symptoms it is a hardware problem, as Eduardo
    suggested earlier.
    If you have problem with left mouse button only, it means
    micro-switch worn off.
    Even if you said you've tried another mouse, there is a high chance
    that spare mouse got this common problem too.
    It it most used mouse button after all, and every micro-switch has
    limited lifespan.
    You might fix micro-switch by applying a drop of sewing machine oil
    inside.¹ (I've done it before and it really helps to fix "phantom
    clicks" for a period of time)
    The other solution is to replace micro-switch. (Which I've done too,
    since micro-switches from OMRON manufacturer are available in my
    local store)
