<title>The mouse double-clicks when I want it to single-click</title>
<p>
Your double-click settings might need adjusting.
</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>
Click <guiseq><gui>System</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mouse</gui></guiseq>
and select the <gui>General</gui> tab.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Make the <gui>Double-Click Timeout</gui> longer.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Use the nearby lightbulb picture to test whether the mouse is clicking
properly. Clicking it once should make the bulb glow dimly; double-clicking
should make it glow brightly.
</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>
If the problem remains even though you have increased the double-click timeout,
your mouse may be faulty. Try plugging a different mouse into your computer
and see if that works properly. Alternatively, plug your mouse into a
different computer and see if it still has the same problem.
