Hi Rosemary,

What are his settings in System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and 
Trackpad?
You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower.

Kind Regards,
Ronni

Re: Problem opening files

[Rosemary Spark]

Hi Ronni,
I tried your suggestion but the problem remains. He can't open any file
anywhere (in our outside a program) with a mouse or The only way to open is
to use  keyboard shortcuts or File>>Open or in the case of Calendar
Edit>>Event.
It is in the weird category. Not impossible of course, just very annoying
for him.

Re: Problem opening files

[Ronni Brown]

Open Disk Utility (Applications / Utilities) on your Mac. 
Select your disk from the left menu and then click First Aid and then click 
Run. 
This will fix volume errors.

Problem opening files

[Rosemary Spark]

My husband is still running Mojave 10.4.6 on his Macbook 13inn Early 2013
model.
A really weird problem has arisen. He can't open* any* file or folder in
any programme (Mac or otherwise) with his mouse or trackpad without going
to File>>Open or in Calendar>> Edit Event).
He's re-started his machine; installed a new mouse,  but he (and I ) are
out of ideas at this point because it's such a strange problem.
