           Summary: Mouse single-click/double-click and select text
                    problems after upgrade to 4.8.2
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: mark.haney at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

I've found that after upgrading to KDE4.8.2 in two different distros (Fedora
and Kubuntu) that the mouse sensitivity is off the charts.  A single-click acts
like a double-click and selecting text with the mouse either selects everything
or nothing.  This occurs with wireless and wired mice and with the touchpad on
my Fedora netbook. Nothing on either system has changed except the update to
4.8.2.  I've used this hardware for over a year without trouble.  I see nothing
in the logs about any errors.  

I've tried to change the sensitivity in the KDE settings, but it doesn't seem
to make a difference.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot to KDE4.8.2
2. click right mouse button, sometimes you'll get a doubleclick, sometimes a
single, seems random no matter how hard or soft, fast or slow I click the
button
3.
Actual Results:  
I get either a single or a doubleclick depending on what the system decides I
did.  Changing sensitivity seems to make no difference

Expected Results:  
I should get a single click on a single click and a double click on a double
click.  I should be able to drag the mouse along text to highlight the text and
not get either a 'select all' or nothing highlighted.

I'll offer any debugging you need.  This is an extremely irritating bug, it
makes KDE on my system almost unusable.  Since downgrading packages is an iffy
proposition, I've started thinking of changing WM until this is fixed.
