I may have found the cause of the problem. I have a 3-button mouse, and
I also had "Emulate3Buttons" enabled in XF86Config-4. I disabled this,
and a couple hours later, I haven't had the problem again. Of course,
it could happen again five seconds after I send this e-mail, but for
now, it looks like this is the answer. Thanks.

Update: I just tried out another mouse that I had forgotten I had, and
it within five or six clicks, the same thing happened. So it's not a
problem with the mouse.

I've been having a strange problem since I installed debian (woody) on

single-click on something, and it's as if I've double-clicked.
It happens in all programs. Here's a small sampling of all the things
that happen because of this:
1) sometimes in Mozilla, I'll click "reply" or "compose",
and two message windows will appear.
2) sometimes I'll click on a tool in Gimp, and the "tool
options" window will appear, as if I had double-clicked.
3) sometimes I'll click on a word in an editor, and
instead of placing an insertion point where I click,
it selects the entire word
4) It even happens with my fluxbox menu (things open twice
sometimes), which I find especially strange, since that
menu disappears when you select something.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I'd say it's the mouse, except for
the fact that it happens in the fluxbox menu, and the fact that it
doesn't happen in either of my MacOSes.
I haven't seen this; what's your mouse configuration, what do the kernel
and X server say about the mouse, etc. ?
