<title>Double-click speed</title>

<p>
Your double-click settings might need adjusting.
</p>

<steps>
 <item><p>
      Press the <link xref="windows-key">windows</link> key or Press <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F1</key></keyseq> or move your cursor to the <link xref="shell-terminology"> hot corner</link> to enter the <gui>Activities</gui> overview.
    </p></item>
    <item><p>
      <gui>Type to search</gui> <input>mouse</input>.
    </p>
    <p>
    Press <key>Enter</key>.
    </p>
    </item>
    <item><p>
      Click on 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>

<note>
<p>
If your mouse double-clicks when you want it to single click, you may need to adjust the double-click setting.
</p>
<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.
