"Pointer devices now have button debouncing automagically enabled.
Ghost button release/press events due to worn out or bad-quality switches
are transparently discarded and the device should just work."

Well, I'm terribly sorry to say that the automagic debouncing feature
from libinput announced in the link above simply does not work at all...

Even with the new libinput, fresh install, I get multiple clicks (only in 
Linux).
It's been 9 years that this problem is on and not only unsolved but just 
getting worse since these days no new hardware works at all...

Only very old mouse devices or this electronic solution currently work:

Could a user setting be at last added after 9 years of other solutions
always failing?

Thanks in advance.

  add Mouse Click Debounce Feature?

Bug description:
  Model:  bonp3
  OS:  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

  When I single click the mouse (external USB Mouse - Mouse Pad
  disabled) half the time the system responds as though I have double
  clicked the mouse.  I try 2 different USB mouse units and it still
  does this.  I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a separate PC that does not
  have this mouse problem.  So I am thinking this problem is a System76
  driver issue???

  It's annoying.  :(
