I've seen it before over the years, and on recent occasions in 2.46,

reinserting in the socket a few times has worked too.
Hunh??? RMB = renminbi (Chinese currency)? I've never even seen one of
those.
More to the point: This is a corded, not wireless, USB mouse that draws
power from the system (no battery). It's optical, so there is no ball to
collect dirt, dust, etc. It sometimes has trouble if I put it on a
completely featureless surface, but that's not the case here.
The buttons are probably still mechanical switches, which eventually wear.
So why should it be affected only in one module of one program?
Because for a lot of actions in many other applications, a double-click
would do exactly the same as a single click, so you wouldn't notice the
difference. For example, if you double-click a link in the browser, it
opens the link, just the same as if you single-click it.
Just because lots of people with chest pain are having heart attacks
doesn't mean that all chest pain is caused by heart attacks. In my
younger days, an opposing hockey player butt-ended me in the chest with
his stick, and my chest was sore for a week, but my heart was never
affected. Not all mouse issues are mechanical.
I didn't mean to suggest that a faulty mouse is the only possible
explanation. Just that it's the first thing I'd try to rule out, and
quite quick to try if you have another mouse to hand. It could also be
an extension, something in your profile, or many other things.
