Re: [ubuntu-uk] Mouse accessibility problem

That'll solve the problem for a file manager, but there is another related problem which it won't solve. When the mouse moves after the button down of a single click in e.g. Firefox the link can move instead of registering a click. Getting the mouse button down and up in a short time is as

[ubuntu-uk] Mouse accessibility problem

I'm trying to solve a problem with double clicking the mouse for someone with jittery hand movements. The problem is that there is usually enough movement between their first and second clicks of a double click that it is registered as two single clicks in different places. This has all sorts
