Big Sur Double Click not functioning

MacBook Pro 2020 13" Big Sur

Since the update to Big Sur no matter what settings I change there is no double click function

Files or folders must be opened manually ie. The open menu or command Open

This is a vary bad glitch and should be fixed ASAP it is a fundamental part of Mac OS and ease of use.


Very very bad bug please look into this ASAP

What you need to do is to change the "Double-Click speed" to slower. (System Preferences->Mouse).

However, there is a bug ---> You don't have access to "Double-Click Speed" if you DO NOT have a mouse connected!!!!! (so what you will need to do is to plug in a mouse, change the speed to a little slower, and disconnect your mouse).

This took me forever to find out and I suddenly remembered that the same date we updated our OS, my son also tested his new gamer mouse (with ultra fast cursor and click functions). So I had to borrow his mouse back, plugged into my Mac, and found out the Double-Click Speed was set to max after his test).
