Mouse Sensitivity... needs fix
« on: February 22, 2007, 07:23:37 am »

My experience, LR is too sensitive to mouse clicks. Too often ONE click is interpreted as TWO clicks. Screws things up, slows you down.

I don’t know if this is a LR problem, or my particular hardware/software set up?
I seems this problem (one click = two clicks) is clearly worse in LR.

My hardware:
Mouse = Logitech MX 1000, wireless laser mouse (excellent mouse)
PC = Windows XP Pro

What is your experience? Is this common?

The OS is typically the one responsible for interpreting the duration between mouse clicks and passing this information on to the application.

Try reducing the double-click speed of your mouse. It can be found under settings>control panel>mouse.

Do you mean EXTENDING THE INTERVAL in which you must double-click?
Or,
Do you mean SHORTENING THE INTERVAL in which you must double-click?

On its face, it's hard to see how this is relevant. I am not inadvertently double-clicking.

Perhaps your button switch is making intermittent contact. Applications rarely interpret mouse clicks directly (games would be a frequent and notable exception), they just pull events from a global event queue and if one of them is a double click event then it responds accordingly.

Thus EXTENDING THE INTERVAL should fix it (requiring a slower pair of clicks to be interpreted as a double-click.) It's still the OS that decides whether it's a single or double click, so do try adjusting that setting and see what happens.
