This behaviour only started to occour when I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 (I also switched to Cinnamon from Unity, so as not to use the new privacy invasive Amazon "features"). Other than that, same hardware and applications.

Let me know what else I can do/provide to help resolve this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365300 Title: Randomly I get double clicks when I do a single click.
