Running xev I can see that holding down the left mouse button causes repeated click/release events for the duration of the hold. A single click is usually enough time for two clicks to register; holding the button down for one second leads to at least 10 click/release pairs. The problem is intermittent. The mouse is a standard Dell optical mouse.
