I am using a bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo, Logitech. I just switched
to my older Dell USB mouse, that came with the computer.. no
double-click issue... may be a battery issue with the bluetooth mouse..
not sure what else it could be.
That single-click-causing-double-click issue seems to be common with
some Logitech mice; I've had a Logitech Mx Anywhere that started
developing that problem. According to this topic[1] the problem is
with the left button microswitch, on the first page of that forum
topic someone from Logitech posted a way to "fix" the issue, but it
doesn't work 100%.
Later on in the same topic[2] someone posted that he'd used WD40 on
the microswitch... (I think that might work, as I used a similar
method albeit with a few changes, Axe body spray instead of WD40, on
the left/right bumper microswitches in my Xbox controller (and people
spray that stuff on their skin..).
