One click it a double click

When I click my mouse it mostly double clicks. I has the same problem on my logitec and my apple magic mouse so it must be the software.

This is what it is set too.

  • How to detect only single click and not double-click mouse events in Swing?

    Hi,
    In my application, I want to implement a functionality only for single click. But problem is on double click, first i can see a single click and then double click.
    i.e e.getCount() return 1 and then 2 for double click. I want to avoid this situation.
    Shouldn't it be just one event with a clickCount of 2? or any alternative solution?
    Please let me know how can i stop this.
    Thanks in advance..
    Cheers

    Maybe something like the below example:

    import java.awt.event.MouseListener;

  • Why does my event structure run a single click when I double-click?

    I would like to treat single-clicks differently than double-clicks but it appears that when I double-click an item on a Front Panel control it runs the single-click event once before running the double-click event.  I would like the single-click event not to trigger if the user double-clicks.
    I am discarding the "Mouse Down?" filter event then using the "Mouse Up" notify event to try to catch the difference between a single-click and double-click.
    Should I be doing something different with the timeout event (right now it does nothing)?
    Should I stop displaying the event type?
    Should I eliminate the 5 msec Wait in the Producer Loop?
    Should I use the "Mouse Down" notify event instead of the "Mouse Up" notify event?

    JeffOverton wrote:
    If you edit the event cases, is the "Lock front panel until the case for this event completes" box checked?
    I think this is a key configuration to understand.
    The current configuration means that the 'mouse up' event for the first click is triggered. Then immideatly the front panel is locked. The second click needs to wait until the event has finished. So I think unchecking that box might improve the code.
    Yes you should remove the 5 ms. wait, it has little purpose. It might even cause this: Click 1(& lock), wait 5 ms, event 1 (&unlock), click2 (no double click anymore).

  • I can't make my " Faces" in iPhoto open so I can add new ones. I already double clicked

    Hi, I can't make the "Faces" in iPhoto open so I can add more faces. I already tried double click. That used to work.

    Try this basic fix: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Single click in a double click box

    Captivate 3.
    I have two click boxes; one set for a single click and the
    other for a double click. Both have failure captions. When I single
    click in the box set for a double click, nothing happens. It
    appears to be ignored. I would like the failure caption for the
    double click box to display if the user clicks only once inside the
    box. Is this possible?

    Hi jimclennon and welcome to our community
    I doubt you will be able to accomplish this easily. Failure
    captions normally appear when you define a click box area and click
    outside the area. As you are clicking
    inside a click box area, but only clicking once, Captivate
    probably isn't sensing a wrong action is occurring.
    This is something you may wish to submit as a feature request
    for a future version. To do that,

  • Single Click registers as Double Click

    Hi guys, my current issue is a bit hard to explain but here goes:...
    In CS 5.5 I now have an issue where a single mouse click is often registered as a double-click. This means if, for example, if I single-click on a clip that is placed on the timeline to select it and want to drag or trim, Premiere registers it as a double click and opens up the clip in a Source Monitor. This gets old really fast. There are a lot of other instances where Premiere does this and I need it to stop.
    I'm suspecting a possible issue with the graphic card (GTX580), however it worked flawlessly, no mods or driver changes have been done.
    I played around with the Windows mouse settings hoping it would fix it, but to no avail. I tried different mice, from a cabled cheap Dell mouse to a wireless Microsoft mouse. No changes. Restarts or creating new Projects didn't help. No new peripherals have been added, and no upgrades or registry changes have been made.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Don't get me wrong. Your system looks WIcked.... however is the set up for Premiere overly complex? First, I'm not a system integrator, I'm just a simple caveman really. But I can compare my two systems from work, which are.

  • 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.

  • Single Click Acts Like Double Click

    A coworkers is having problems with his mouse (so I thought I'd post the problem, see if anyone knows what might be happening). He'll single click with his mouse, but sometimes (not always), it will act as though he's double clicked. Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

    He's got a dual 1.2 (I think) GHz G4 tower. He's using some third party mouse (with two buttons and a scroll wheel). He's running Panther (he might upgrade to Tiger today).
    He (Brian, I'm gonna stop sayin' "he") ...Brian, switched with a "normal" Apple mouse for a few minutes and said it wasn't happening. But he can't get used to the big single click (which I prefer myself). Well, looks like we've found the culprit. I'll suggest changing USB ports, see if that does anything different.

  • Single-click registers as double-click, trackpad AND mouse

    I have the same problem and it's really starting to annoy me since I started using this computer more frequently recently. I've owned it since new. It has done this off and on since I bought it. I only used it for travel so I just put up with it but now I'm using it for all E-mail to free up my primary desktop for other needs and this is starting to drive me crazy. The machine originally had Panther on it and when I migrated to Tiger I thought that might fix it. No such luck.
    The problem is that quite often when I single-click on something, whether in the Finder or an Application, it registers as a double-click. It doesn't matter if I use the trackpad or a mouse, same problem.
    I've tried different "Keyboard and Mouse" settings in System Prefs and nothing makes any difference. I've tried the PMU reset too. No change. I've tried it with the mouse disconnected and I've tried it with two different mice. No improvement. I've even tried it with green eggs and ham but the problem persists!
    I've never had this issue with ANY other Mac I currently own (3 others) or have owned in the past (many since 1985). My only speculation is that MAYBE the humidity/static in my environment has something to do with it. I've never noticed an exact correlation but it SEEMS that perhaps I may be having this problem more often when the climate is dry. Possible?
    Has anyone found a definitive cause/solution for this issue? Thanks!
    Mike

    Glad that worked for you Sup3rL4m3r but I suspect we have different issues. I have no problems with anything except single-clicks and click-drags registering as double clicks with either the trackpad or mouse. I have no issues with my "wallpaper" or with erratic cursor issues, or with anything else. When I upgraded to Tiger as indicated in the original post, I did an archive and install but it did nothing to mitigate the problem.
    This seems to possibly be a somewhat common problem based on previous posts I've read on it but I suspect that the lack of any solutions suggests it is a design flaw of some sort that has no solution. Perhaps it is not prolific enough to get any attention. Darned shame since this machine has otherwise been flawless. Kind of like buying a new car that has a hesitation on acceleration that you can't get rid of. Most annoying.

  • Distinguishing b/t two single mouse-click and mouse-double-click

    Hi,
    I am curious to find out how Forms will distinguish between two single when-mouse-click events and a single when-mouse-doubleclick event. Is it simply a timing issue or is there more involved i.e. the 'co-ordinates' of the mouse. Thanks in advance for any opinions given,
    regards,
    Kevin.

    The difference is same as the difference of Apple and Orange.
    Its depends on O/S and event management within OS kernel.
    You can change the timing in Control panel of mouse double click.

  • Disabling normal JButton click behaviour for double click

    This seems quite a poser.
    Basically I have a test JButton for testing double click speed. This is in a dialog with the JButton and a JSlider.
    I have some code which detects the double click, I add this as using 'addMouseListener()', but I need to disable the normal single click action of the JButton to replace it by the double click code calling 'doClick()'.
    How do I disable the normal single click functionality ?
    I have looked through the SDK source but cannot fathom the normal behaviour of the event mechanism.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Here's an entire program. When I run it, it only catches doubleclicksimport javax.swing.*;

  • I have to "single-click" twice (not double click) to open an item in the Dock.

    Can someone confirm if this is Expected Behavior??   (OS = Mavericks)
    If you have Assigned an application in your Dock to a Desktop & Display in the application's Dock >> Options  (ex: Assigned To:  Desktop on Display 2):
    Click once on the application icon in the Dock, the application's Menu will populate on the top of your screen, but not the application itself (yet), click the application icon a second time, the application will now show too. 
    Docked Applications that do not have an Assigned To: Desktop & Display in the Dock options, you only need to single click.
    FYI:
    For odd Dock behaviors otherwise try this:
    You may have a corrupted Dock preferences file.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist    (plist = preference list file)
    Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash, or move it to your Desktop.
    Restart your Mac and see if the behavior is resolved.  You will have re-configure your Dock settings.

    From where are you launching Mail? The only place, unless I've missed or forgotten something, you can launch an application with a single click is from the Dock. Is this what you're doing, or are you attempting to launch Mail from the Applications folder?
    Regards.

  • 30EA1 /2.*: Double-clicking objects in the navigator tree

    Hi,
    There is an inconsistency in double-clicking objects in the navigator tree:
    When Preferences - Database - ObjectViewer - Open Objects on Single Click is checked, double-clicking e.g. a table in the navigator will still open it the same way as single-clicking it.
    However, when Preferences - Database - ObjectViewer - Open Objects on Single Click is not checked, double-clicking the table in the navigator will open it, and expand the columns. The latter is quite irritating, especially on large tables.
    Can this be bugged, so double-clicking the table in the navigator will just open it?
    Thanks,
    K.

    The node is expanded on double click irrespective of what the preferenceIs this a typo or does it really expand always for you? For me it only expands with "single click objects" disabled.
    windows explorer also does the sameYes, and I'd even say that's the desired behaviour, especially since it's the only action taken.
    Common sense and standards are against taking 2 different actions at the same time. One should override the other.
    Ideally, double click with "single click objects" disabled would just open the object, and double click with "single click objects" enabled could expand the node as in the Windows Explorer (but doesn't have to).
    So that's almost completely the other way around as we get it now.
    Thanks,
    K.

  • Double clicking a contact fails to place address in Mail "Send To" register

    I just bought a new Mac Mini Q4 with Maverick OS 10.9.4. Everything seems to work except for one glaring  problem. Double clicking a contact name does NOT cause the address to be placed in the "TO" field. After checking on several forum entries and seeing no plausible solution I moved everything to Thunderbird where all is well. I will wait it out there until Apple rectifies this problem.

    If one types the first one or two character of the contact's name then a whole set of options pops up one of which may be what was desired.
    This is an awkward workaround and I suspect Apple software engineers had to work all night to dream this up. It only takes several times longer to develop a "Send To" list this way. You still have to click on the Address Book to see the list of contacts to determine which ones you wish to include. The approach of typing the first few characters only works if you know exactly whom to include and how they are listed in the Address Book and then only if there is just one or maybe two of them.
    I'll just hang with Thunderbird until Apple adds the double click feature back in.
