Perhaps I should clarify what I mean by "...takes car of the problem" above. I still have to single-click much faster than normal, meaning the release of the mouse button has to be real fast or the problem remains. I don't mind really, as it keeps if not my body so at least my right index finger in good shape. By now I've got to have the fastest trigger finger in town, just waiting for the bad guys come riding along like in some old Clint Eastwood movie.. :-) I can't say why as I'm not into programming, but I'd put my money on a guess it's some code line that dates back to when no such fast machines existed, and it has worked well until now. No way it's about finding the right spot on these small buttons... Max G
