Universal Access Mouse Keys Double Click Broken In Lion
Hi,
Lion has made a couple of changes to the Universal Access Mouse Keys, BUT...
You can no longer double click with the 5 key...
This is a HUGE problem for users reliant on this to counter RSI problems.
To reproduce:
In Universal Access, toggle Mouse Keys to 'On'. Open a text document, hover the cursor over a word, and double click using the number pad 5 key.
Prior to Lion this selected the word. In Lion this is no longer happens.
I am using an Apple keyboard with number pad and a MacBookPro.
Please re-instate this functionality.
Regards,
Rob.
This was fixed in 10.7.2 or 3 from memory, but returned in 10.8 and remains in 10.8.2.
I use Keyboard Maestro to map F17 on my keyboard to double-click, Ctrl+F17 to triple-click

My mouse is double clicking often, even though I only single click.
My mouse is double clicking often, even though I only single click.
I have tried changing the Mouse Double Click Preference to both Max Fast and Max Slow, but nothing helped. Ive been using this setup for over a year. Reinstalled clean when upgrading to Yosemite last week, and this has been happening.
Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Logitech B100 USB Mouse
Any ideas on how to keep this annoyance from happening? It's driving me crazy.TO everyone on this discussion:
There is a "Double-click speed" setting in the "Accessibility" System Preferences - click on the "Mouse & Trackpad" (in the Interacting options) choice on the left and you will see the slider to adjust the double-click speed.
Also sometimes if you have third party mouse drivers with their own System Preferences settings it might be there as well.
I've got an Apple Magic Mouse and the above is what I use to adjust the double-click speed.
good luck and Merry Christmas -
These files mostly contains following lines:
Firefox and Thunderbird creates CGLog files in /tmp on my Mac. It contains a lot of info related to keyboard and mouse (keys, scrolls, clicks!) I am concerned!
--- flushing event log at XXXX.XXXXXXXX ---
432138.5090574 (Firefox): CGSGetNextEventRecordInternal: XXXX.XXXXXX loc (-XXXX, XXXX) conn 0xXXXXX MouseMoved win 0xXXXX (click 1)
and the most scaring:
XXXX.XXXXX (Firefox): CGSGetNextEventRecordInternal: XXXX.XXXXX loc (xxx.xx, xxx.xx) conn 0xXXX KeyDown win 0x0 flags 0xa00100 set 252 char 63233; key 125 data -2303 special 0 repeat 0 keybd 44
Why it happens? Is it dangerous? How can I turn it off?
I saw that on the latest Firefox release for Mac and on Firefox ESR 31.2.0 for Mac
I saw that on Thunderbird release for Mac 31.2.0You can start with this;

I have this problem, my mouse always double clicks. I tried searching the forum for a solution. I got only one result http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73460, but i am not able to solve it. So i started a new thread. I think my problem is there are two instances of mouse, thats why its double clicking always.

Thanks in advance@Lich: Ya I'm using only one. I dont think its a problem with the hardware.
@ lolilolicon: Your solution did'nt work. Actually this has to be put in "Server Flags" section. If I make it true, my keyboard and mouse doesn't work. So i tried making it False, still not working.
can somebody tell me if there are two instances of mouse running, how can I find that?
And thanks for the quick reply. -
Alt key + double-clicking a layer?
I am reading a tutorial and it instructs me to press the Alt key + double-click the duplicate layer. What is this doing? It seems to be just making a new blank layer.
Thanks.What duplicate layer?
Do you think a screenshot might help understand what you are talking about?
alt-doubleclicking a Layer in the Layers Panel should raise the Layer Properties-dialog in which the name and color can be changed. -
Hi, need help desperately, I cant seem to find the option to adjust the double click speed on Lion, (10.7), Its not under "system pref>mouse"?
It's in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > either Mouse or Trackpad options... button > Double click speed slider.

I am trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password
First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combinationcommand-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions. -
Mighty Mouse and double clicking
Mouse is set to "double click", but, if I place the cursor over a file in my desktop and click the mouse, nothing happens.
Clicking on links in the browser works fine, but I have to hold down the "control" key in order to invoke the contextual menu and then select "open", in order execute an action that the mouse should do.
I am a new, iMac convert, and do not know if this behavior is normal.Are you double clicking?
No.
Again, mouse is set to double click when I press on it, once. -
Mouse left double click question
Hello all...
Well, my son seems to have done something on his system...
When I log in under his user name, left double click doesn't seem to work. If there is a .pdf on the desktop, left double clicking won't open it. In order to get an application to run from finder, I have to right click & select open. When I log in under my user name, everything works great.
Question: What did he do & how do I un-do it??
Thanks.
<Edited by Moderator>Try moving:
Your son's User name > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist
to the desktop and restart the computer which will create a new default set. This will reset his system preferences. If this works you can get rid of the file but will have to reset the rest of his preferences. If it doesn't work you can put the file back into the place from which it came (overwrite the new one that will have been created and restart) to restore his settings and we'll have to try something else.
It also occurred to me that since I don't have a two button mouse and don't know anything about the kind you have, perhaps it has its own preferences settings which might not be affected by the general system ones. I tested the above by changing my mouse settings and checked which of my preferences files had changed.

Magic mouse not double clicking
Ever since I upgrade my iMac to Lion OS my mouse will not double click consistantly. I tried purchasing a new mouse thinking that my other mouse had a click problem but that didn't fix my problem. Anybody else having this problem? Any work arounds?
I tried this, too, thinking it would solve the problem. It didn't. In fac, it may have made it worse. So weird. I can click to select, right click and choose open, but I cannot double click to open a file or folder. This started AFTER I rebuild a Mac with a new hard drive and fresh install of Lion et al. Anybody have an ideas?

Can't use mouse to double click song playback w/latest update of iTunes?
Downloaded latest update of iTunes and now I can not double click a song for playback...What's going on? Is anyone else experiencing this?
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in the box below."
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
MS mouse won't click, moves slowly, Lion OSX
Hi everyone. Thanks for reading. The big boss has an iMac running Lion. She didn't like the Mac mouse, so we got her a low-end Microsoft 2-button mouse, which she likes.
A couple of weeks after we got the mouse, it became VERY slow and wouldn't click any more (physically, it was fine). I installed the latest MS drivers for Mac mouse, but that didn't help.
I switched from her login (which has admin rights) to the Administrator login, and had no problem with the mouse.
I did not install any updates before this problem started, and the machine is up to date with Apple updates.
It's strange this started to happen without changing any hardware or software.
And yes, she has to have a 2-button mouse. I can't get her to fall in love with the Apple mouse, as I have.
Any help? THANK YOU.Also, mouse preferences grayed out, even though she has admin rights.

Hi,
I was using the Universal Access Mouse Keys in System Preferences fine (with an Apple keyboard with number pad).
I've upgraded to Lion, and all was still well.
However they have suddenly stopped working, and I can't re-enable them. If I select 'On' it immediately flicks back to 'Off'.
The Console reports the following error:
System Preferences: Failed to get the Mouse Keys Ignore Trackpad Key value (error = -536870206)
Re-booting the MacBookPro does not help.
Please help,
Robert.I've filed a bug report.
