    In years past, the mouse double-click for a single click syndrome was
    caused by the pushbutton switch in the mouse becoming unsoldered, as
    in a microscopic crack in the solder you had to use a strong glass to
    see around the switches pin in the puddle of solder. Holding the
    switch solidly against the board and resoldering fixed it right up.

    Not for folks who don't know which end of the soldering iron gets
    hot...

    What was happening is that the switch would close and send the event,
    but the finger then pushed the switch down against the board anotheer
    thousandth, causeing the pin to rise slightly on the bottom of the
    board, breaking the solder connection, which sent that event as a
    button rise, and the situation was then reversed as the finger came
    back up, giving 2 full clicks for one push.
