Bug Description

After updating to hardy heron I am unable to single click. Every click of the mouse counts as a double click. This makes it very difficult to use the system. To activate menus I am able to hold down the left click instead and it seems to count the up and down as two different clicks.

I opened up the mouse application in System > Preferences > Mouse and verified that any click causes the lightbulb to light up fully. This is indipendant of what I set the double click timeout to be.

Before upgrading I was using xbindkeys to enable some of the custom buttons on my mouse but I have disabled that now to make sure it was not the cause of the problem. I am not using any other applications that should alter my mouse behavior (that I know of.)

I am using a logitec MXlaser mouse on the 64 bit version of hardy.

I reverted to the "mouse" driver rather than the "evdev" device and no longer had the issue. Perhaps the issue is with evdev.

I had the same problem and my X configuration was already using "mouse" device.
I don't know what was the source of the problem, but the last batch of updates (today) fixed it. I didn't notice anything too suspect; nvidia-new driver, synaptics driver (which I don't use/own), libsane, restricted-modules.

Please check whether the "mouse" driver is working for you now and if so please close the bug :-)

I no longer have the issue either. I have not tried using the evdev driver again, but using the mouse driver works great. Can no longer reproduce this error.

I also have the issue after upgrading to Hardy Heron Beta.
I'm using the "mouse" driver

No update so far has fixed this problem.
I've been using BTNX but uninstalled just to make sure it didn't cause the trouble.

I also had a problem with double clicking after upgrading from Gutsy to the Hardy release. I found that the ServerLayout section in xorg.conf had two mice defined, one of them pointing to a mouse on /dev/input/mice, the other one on /dev/psaux. Apparently, Gutsy didn't have a problem with this, but Hardy did. I deleted one of these entries, and this solved the problem for me. (How this second entry got there, is another question.)
