Double click instead of single click

recently like a month ago i started noticing when i ried to open a new tab in firefox or close,i opened two new tabs or close two tabs then i found out it wasn't firefox is that when i single click on something  i guess ny computer recognizes that as a double click and that's what it does,it double clicks on the icon,video or whatever i click on,can anyone tell me how to revert this to its default configuration,by the way i didn't mess with it or tried to change it or what ever,most of the times it double clicks on anything but not all the time

@karantani: exactly as cfr said: it happens after some time and without any warning. If you're not sure just try another mouse. 5years is hell of a lot for a mouse if you use it on everyday basis for many hours. I even had this on new Logitech mouse just after couple of months (they're all doing just shit nowadays, I miss days of old heavy, robust keyboards and mouses, of electronics like Walkman - it was some nice engineering, everything was working just fine for many, many years. Right now your lucky if product will hold it's planned obsolescence). There is a lot you can do, I fix mine by sticking piece of paper to lift badly designed buttons, but in many cases switches just have enough.

  • JComboBox in JTable to activate when double-click instead of single-click

    I like to know if it is possible to change the default behaviour of JComboBox within the JTable,
    such that instead of single click on the JTable cell for the combo box's popup to appear, I double click on it instead.
    If it is possible please give some advice.
    Thanks.

    I couldn't get to settings because I couldn't scroll and don't know where that is located. I just saw a similar question from someone else. Three clicks on home button worked to turn off voiceover !! Phew!

  • Making the Dock require Double-Click instead of Single

    Is there a way to make the Dock require a double-click instead of a single-click to open applications. It would be great if the single-click would still focus the desired application. The prevents users from accidentally opening potentially large programs.

    Sorry. I meant that if an application is already open the single-click should focus it (bring it to the front) which is the current behavior.
    It is two easy to open applications. I have IDE's on the dock that take a lot of resources to start and I find myself accidentally opening them when wanting to open Textedit or a terminal. A double-click would allow the user to correct after the first click thus not opening the wrong application.

  • How to separate double click action and single click action

    in my mouse action listerner for JTable.
    i do two actions, when user doule click column header, sort the column,
    when single clicked, select all cells in this column.
    but when user double clicked, the action attached with single click also triggered.(column sorted but also selected)
    how to separate them.

    Ok, so despite my earlier suggestion being basically the only solution offered anyway on the web it appears that Lokust is correct and that the single click operation would be performed as well as the double click one. to get round this u have to implement a Timer, i'm not going to post my whole code here because most of it is irrelevent, just add this code in the correct places and it should work fine. apologies to all format junkies for not using code tags!
    import java.util.Timer;
    import java.util.TimeTask;
    public class WhateverClassName implements MouseListener {
    private Timer t;
    private boolean doubleclick;
    myTable.addMouseListener(this);
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
         t = new Timer();
         if (e.getClickCount() == 2){
              doubleclick = true;
         else if(e.getClickCount()==1){
              t.schedule(new MyTimerTask(),500);
    /*You need all these methods as well */
    /* (non-Javadoc)
    * @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
    /* (non-Javadoc)
    * @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseExited(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
    /* (non-Javadoc)
    * @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
    /* (non-Javadoc)
    * @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseReleased(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
    class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask{
    /* (non-Javadoc)
    * @see java.util.TimerTask#run()
         public void run() {
              if(doubleclick){
                   System.out.print("double click");
              else{
                   System.out.println("single click");
              t.cancel();
    This assumes that for it to be considered a double click user has to click twice within .5 seconds.
    Let me know if that works or not, sorry its a bit messy!

  • Need Double quotes instead of Single quotes in output XML version header

    In XML output generated by XDODTEXE executable, its observed that header row looks like this:
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
    It should look like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Browsers like IE deceive. Opening the XML in Text editors show single quotes and spaces.
    Data Template and XSL template files have proper headers with double quotes.
    The output XML file is rejected by a Government Authority as parsing the header line fails.
    Are there any ways to configure this?

    I dont know if this has anything to do with my problem or not, but I thought I should add this:
    When a user is filling out the form that has the textarea,  they put whatever text they want into the textarea field.
    textarea name="text"></textarea
    Then, they click on a 'Continue' button and the system shows them a preview of what they are about to have inserted
    into the database.
    Within the code on this preview page is a hidden field, which holds the contents of their textarea data so it can be
    passed on through the process once the user verifies the preview.
    This is done using this: input type="hidden" name="text" value="<cfoutput>#text#</cfoutput>"
    Like I said, I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem, but thought it might be good to mention it

  • Magic Mouse ribght-clicking even when single-click mobe is enabled

    I have a late 2007 MBP. I bought a Magic Mouse today, but when I paired it and downloaded the software for it, when "Secondary click" was not enabled, it would behave as if it was right-clicking. When I enable "Secondary Click", both left and right parts of the mouse right-click. What's going on here?

  • Mouse double click on single click

    My mouse has been double clicking on a single click since changing to Mavericks 10.9. I have tried different mouse brands from Apple to Rapoo and everything inbetween. I have played with the mouse settings and rebooted, reset the pram and nothing works. It's very frustrating as a graphic designer to be slowed down because of a mouse.
    Has anyone ad this problem and has the solution to it?
    Thanks

    From the menu bar click on Go > (Hold option down) Library will appear, click it.
    In the Library goto Preferences
    Locate the following files and delete them.
    -com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
    Restart the computer and test.
    Hope this helps.

  • Doubt - mouse double click invokes both single and double click

    Hi Friends,
    I added mouse listener to a java component. In the mouseClicked() method, I have implementation for both mouse single and double click. When I try to double click that component it invokes the single click method first and the it invokes the double click method. My problem is when I try to double click that component it should invoke my double click method alone not single click too.
    I'd be very grateful if someone can help me.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sangeetha J

    Your problem: a double click is two single clicks. The first click will always fire a single-click event. How's the computer supposed to know that another click is to follow?
    All I think you could do is to instantiate a timer in the one-click method, set to whatever amount of time you think a double-click should take. If you get a second event while the timer's still active, it was a double-click and you can stop the timer and do the double-click action. Otherwise your timer should execute the single-click action after it timed out.
    But this will make your GUI look like it's responding slowly to single-clicks.

  • [Solved] Gwenview 5 lost icons and single click

    Hi,
    I don't use KDE but I do use Gwenview. Since upgrading to 5 Gwenview has lost some icons (outlined in red below), and I now have to double click on directories and images to open them instead of single click. Is it possible to fix these issues without installing a full KDE desktop?
    Thanks, Jamie

  • Single-click on a Tree not cancelable

    Hi,
    I have a component that includes a Tree, and the Tree uses a
    custom TreeItemRenderer. The render extends the default one, and
    adds a small graphic next to each Tree node's label.
    If users click the graphic, I'd like to prevent the default
    single-click behavior of the tree. For example, I'd like to prevent
    the node being selected.
    I've found that MouseEvent.CLICK is not cancelable, so
    preventDefault() has no effect.
    Is there a way to prevent the Tree from reacting to the
    single click, if the single-click is on the graphic in my item
    renderer?

    Setting mouseChildren to false on the image might work.

    How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click?  (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

  • Selecting a page with a single-click instead of double-click

    Is there anyway to make InDesign CS5.5 move my file to the page I have selected in the pages panel without having to double-click the page in the pages panel?
    I keep forgetting that the page selected in the panel may or may not be the page I'm currently editing & this is very frustrating.

    Page that you're currently on is highlighted in reverse (black background white text)
    If you're select a page in the pages panel it highlights blue to indicate it's selected. This allows you to move the page if you need to, or select over dozen other options for that page, numbering, sections, override, move, duplicate, apply master page to, delete, rotate view, colour label, page transiitions, hide master items and spread flattening!
    You double click a page to move to that page. If it was only a single click then it would be quite frustrating to be hopping all over the document when all you want to do is renumber/resection/dupe or over a dozen different options mentioned above.
    CTRL/CMD J will bring up the Go To Page dialog box.
    Navigate with the page numbers as peter suggested.
    There's a reason it works like that - because it works best.
