Q: Mouse double clicking on single click.

Hello,

I've been having a problem for quite some time now and, after scouring the internet, can not find any solutions (any that work anyway). I have a Wacom Intuos4 tablet that I use, and I mainly use that mouse for it. The problem is it keeps double clicking and sometimes triple clicking when I only click once. I have tried using my Madcatz R.A.T.7 mouse for a short period of time and it doesn't seem to do it, but I also didn't install the drivers for it either so it didn't have full functionality (wouldn't pull up dock when scrolling to bottom of screen, or operate hot corners) so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I don't want to use that mouse on this comp either because it's the mouse I use on my gaming comp and switching back and forth constantly would be really annoying and tedious.

I've tried uninstalling old intuos drivers and installing the new ones, I've also reset the PRAM and increase/decrease mouse click speed. Nothing works. Anyone have a clue as to what's going on or have any idea what might fix this?

 

I've also contacted Wacom to see if they have any insight.

 

 

Oh, almost forgot...my comp specs

 

iMac 27 inch, late 2012 model

running OS X El Capitan

3.4 GHz Intel Core i7

8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

My guess is that your mouse is having trouble meeting the standards of El Capitan. Contact the manufacturer's support > http://www.wacom.com/en-us/support -- or use the link there to post in their community

    exact make and model of mouse?

     

    if it started 'suddenly', what event may have preceded its onset (nothing ever happens for no reason - well, almost never)

    It's the mouse that comes with the inuos tablets. And I don't know anything that would have caused it. It's been happening for a long while now though.

    I have a very similar problem and it affects my Magic Mouse, & Touchpad of the MacBook Pro (2013).  The easiest way to prove the multi-clicking is on the Calculator widget and you can see it double enters the numbers each time you click on them, I have de-installed the Wacom Tablet so i don't think it is that.

     

    I also get odd clicks randomly on the screen.

     

    The magic mouse when connected to a different Mac Laptop works perfectly and does not have the same problem.

    I have contacted wacom, just waiting on a reply. But I'm not so sure it's El Capitan either since this has been going on for awhile now.

    After trying to do all the suggested things to no avail, a few days go it just stopped doing it. At least as far as I've noticed, but I also haven't been using my comp as much the past few weeks. The only reason why I'm pretty sure the problem isn't gone is because it's done this before, where it will just start working again with no problems for a while then start back up again.

     

    I've talked with Wacom support and they seem to think that it's the mouse going bad. Which is entirely possible, but I'm just curious why so many other people have had/do have this problem? All of them can't just be "going bad". In my case it's more understandable because my tablet is like 4 years old.

    i doubt it just a mouse issue. my tablet is a year old and this exact single/double click issue just started happening to me less than a week ago, completely destroyed my workflow.

    I have the same problem.

     

    Everything was working fine, and all of a suddenly the problem started, completely destroyed my workflow.

     

    Latest Mac pro (MacPro6,1) with 10.11.6 El Capitan.

    Latest Intuos Pro (PTH-851) and the previous Intros Pro (PTH-850) They both act weird on the computer.

    I tried uninstall and re-install the wacom drivers. (Wacom 6.3.17-5)

    Also tried different different pens.

    Same problem here.

     

    MacBook Pro 15" Retina Late 2013

    El Capitan 10.11.6

     

    My guess is that it started after the 10.11.6 update. I've been experiencing this behaviour for some weeks, and it's becoming pretty annoying.

     

    What I can tell you is that it's not a mouse problem. I've tried a Microsoft mouse (USB wired), and two distinct Logitech mice (both wireless using the Logitech USB dongle), and it happens on any of those.

     

    As the Mac touchpad is working fine, I'd consider this as an USB problem, and not a mouse (pointer) related problem. Seems that it's either randomly duplicating USB messages, or not clearing them properly from the message queue after being read.

     

    The only USB device connected to the Mac is an Apple Keyboard (the one with the numeric keypad), and the only USB device connected to the Apple Keyboard is the mouse.

     

    I've tried rebooting. No effect.

    I've tried resetting the NVRAM. No effect.

    Next, I'll try resetting the SMC. But I'm pretty sure it won't solve it.

    I just tried the SMC reset, and it didn't solve this problem.

     

    I'm hoping that Sierra solves this, because this is most certainly an operating system issue.

    I've just started having the same problem in the last few weeks. I'm using my old powermac G5 keyboard and mouse and everything was fine until recently. I first noticed it on tumblr when liking something it would immediately unlike something. Normally takes me three attempts to do anything now

     

    It's horrendous. I have a lot of documents and files to move around and file and they keep opening.

    I've just installed Sierra and that seems to have fixed the problem.

     

    No double deletions in mail, no multiple browser windows opening - so far so good.
