I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse which I'm fairly sure has a hardware

such events in under some threshold should count as one? I've Googled
and other people have had similar problems (not specifically with this
mouse) but there are no clear answers. I'd rather not have to drop $50
or so on a new BT mouse.

Using KDE 4.10 under Fedora 19, up to date as of today.

Interesting.  I have a USB Logitech mouse that I had assumed was
just "clicked out" becuase it's doing the same thing.  Really tired of
doing things like deleting more than one e-mail at a time because the
mouse is sending multiple button action events for what is supposed to be
a single click.  I've also had problems with "drag and drop" type actions
(i.e., both a button down and a button up event appear to be sent even
though I'm holding the button down) so just "fixing" the double click
sensetivity isn't the end of your mouse problem.  Replace or, as per the
other response, repair it (I'd probably burn the house down if I went
after it with a soldering iron so I'll replace mine).

Cheers,

This sounds very much like what I have been seeing recently. It's almost as if clicks are being fed into a buffer in groups and counted out in groups of a different size; there seems to be something cyclical about it. I think it started around the time that I installed kde 4.10.5 on f17 immediately before f17 went EOL, in response to a plea for karma from Rex. Since then I've FedUp-ed to f18 and mouse control is still workable but irritatingly unpredictable. Gateway USB optical mouse, ~2006.
