Bug # 196711 provided a solution. (I'll let someone else decide if this bug is a duplicate of 196711, since the original author opened this bug specifically for non-laptop PCs).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input- mouse/+bug/196711 In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, make the following change... OLD xorg.conf entry... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" EndSection NEW xorg.conf entry... # Mouse fix as per bug 196711 Section "InputDevice" Identifier "CorePointer" Driver "mouse" EndSection This fixes the double-click problem (99% of the time). However, the start position for the drag and select text operation still jumps to a new location; this is probably an unrelated bug. -- Mouse unable to single click after upgrade to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209160 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
