Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Release: Ubuntu 8.04
Package Version: 1:7.3+10ubuntu10
Expected to happen: Clicking the pointer button on menus makes them drop down 
and stay down.  Clicking in text fields moves the pointer.
Actually happens: Clicking on menus makes them flash down and back up.  
Clicking in text fields selects words.  Clicking on window title bars maximizes 
them.  Etcetera (i.e. single clicks are acting as double clicks)

Since I upgraded my Thinkpad X31 to Hardy Heron from Gutsy Gibbon,
single clicking the mouse button results in a double click, which makes
the GUI very hard to use!  My xorg.conf doesn't have anything weird in
it, but I've put it at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dhuggins/xorg.conf for
reference purposes.

If I run xev and click on the xev window, I get this output:

ButtonPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x56, subw 0x0, time 1158324, (170,161), root:(175,210),
    state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES

Strangely enough, the GDM menu seems to work fine.
