Mouse problem?

clarkjd · Sep 26, 2013

As Rolli59 says, it's probably a hardware problem with your mouse. have you tried a different mouse, or your mouse on a different computer?
It is possible that the mechanical contact under the right mouse button is going bad.

More specifically, it sounds like the spring in the switch for your right mouse button is getting curled too much (this happens much more often in the left button, as it tends to be a fatigue issue). Either move that mouse to another computer, or try another mouse on that computer to test.

If that is the case, it is fixable if you have patience and a pair of tweezers, but unless you have an expensive mouse or are on a tight budget, may not be worth the time.

nah i am pretty sure it is not hardware problem because as i said it only happen at some specific place like the notification area icons(hidden one only for some reason) and some website otherwise it work fine 100 percent of the time

It is more likely a hardware issue than a problem with two separate pieces of software in two very specific situations that just happen to misbehave in exactly the same way. Those triggers may be sensitive to very rapid double-clicks, while others aren't.

It's not like this will be hard to test, just move the mouse to another pc, or put another mouse on that one.

I have the exact same problem of late and was wondering if you found a solution?

nop but maybe you can try other mouse to see if it the hardware or software. although my problem improved with time(its true time fixes everything otherwise i dont know how) but it is still there
